Pull KanbanTool context into Cursor

Live requirements feed straight into your editor via the `get_task_details` tool while you write code. Your AI client reads the card description, grabs the acceptance criteria, and uses that text to generate the initial boilerplate for your feature. It doesn't guess what you need to build. You stop switching windows because the `list_task_activities` tool grabs recent comments from your product manager. The agent adjusts the code logic based on those latest updates. You stay in your flow state while the editor manages the context.

Manage tickets from your codebase

Agent mode generates bug tickets the moment it spots an error by calling the `create_task_card` tool. It grabs the stack trace from your terminal and posts it directly to your triage board. You never lose track of a failing test again. Changing a card status without leaving the IDE happens through the `update_task_details` tool. You commit the code, tell your agent to move the ticket to the completed column, and keep working. The context switch vanishes.

Read project states via MCP Server

Sprint structures map out clearly when you invoke the `list_boards` and `get_board_details` tools. You ask Cursor to summarize the current workload, and it reads the active columns to tell you how many items are currently blocked. It turns your editor into a project dashboard. Public URLs for specific boards generate instantly using the `list_shared_links` tool. You drop those links into your documentation so external contractors know exactly where to check project status. It keeps everyone aligned without extra meetings.

Setup guide

Set up KanbanTool MCP in Cursor

Prerequisites

Cursor installed (macOS, Windows, or Linux)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP Settings

Go to Cursor Settings → MCP or open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and search for "MCP: Add Server".
2

Add the KanbanTool MCP

Cursor will create or open .cursor/mcp.json in your project root. Paste the JSON snippet on the right. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Enable Agent mode

Open Composer (Cmd+I / Ctrl+I) and switch to Agent mode using the dropdown at the top. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode.
4

Verify the connection

Ask Cursor something like "List my recent KanbanTool transactions." If the MCP tools are loaded correctly, Cursor will call the KanbanTool tools automatically. You can also check Settings → MCP for a green status indicator.

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "kanbantool-mcp": {
      "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    }
  }

Common questions about KanbanTool MCP in Cursor

Create an `mcp.json` file in your `.cursor` directory. Add the server execution command or remote URL, then enable Agent mode in your chat panel.

Yes. The agent has write access through specific tools. It can create new cards or update existing ones when you ask it to.

You can do either. A project-level configuration ties the server to a specific repository, while a global setup makes it available across all your local projects.

The server might be missing from your configuration file, or the agent lacks the right context. Verify your JSON syntax and ensure Agent mode is toggled on.

This integration reads task titles, activity logs, and board configurations. The editor only requests the specific endpoints required to answer your prompt, keeping your proprietary project data out of unnecessary logs.
