How to Use the Kandji MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I configure the Kandji MCP Server in Cursor?

Create an mcp.json file in your project root or global .cursor directory. Add the server configuration under mcpServers. Enable Agent mode, and Cursor can immediately read your MDM data.

Q: Can Cursor modify Kandji blueprints directly?

The current toolset focuses on read operations like listblueprints and listdevices. Cursor helps you write the code to modify them, but it relies on your API scripts to execute the changes.

Q: Will this work for custom app deployment scripts?

Yes. The agent uses listcustomapps to check existing non-store software. It writes deployment scripts that avoid overwriting current installations.

Build zero-touch provisioning scripts faster. Connect Cursor to your Kandji MDM and pull live device data directly into your editor.

Test MDM logic inside Cursor

`list_blueprints` pulls your actual device categorization data straight into your code editor. When you write custom deployment scripts, Cursor's agent fetches the real blueprint IDs. You stop hardcoding dummy variables and start building against your actual infrastructure. The AI uses `get_organization` to verify tenant details before executing API calls. If you write a script to migrate devices between groups, Cursor checks the live state first. Your code works on the first run.

Code against live security policies

`list_parameters` exposes every available security control in your library. You ask the agent to write a Python script auditing local firewall rules, and it knows exactly which parameters to check. The MCP Server bridges the gap between your IDE and your fleet. You can also map these policies to specific employees using `list_users`. Cursor writes the logic to cross-reference HR data with active Apple devices. You build compliance reports without leaving your IDE.

Script remote actions safely

`list_commands` returns the recent history of remote actions sent to your managed Macs. When you build automated response playbooks, Cursor reads these logs to understand the payload structure. You see exactly how a remote lock or wipe request formats its JSON. Tracking the results happens through `list_activity`. Your automated scripts can poll this endpoint to verify that a configuration profile actually applied. Cursor helps you write the retry logic based on real API responses.

Setup guide

Set up Kandji 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 Kandji 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 Kandji transactions." If the MCP tools are loaded correctly, Cursor will call the Kandji tools automatically. You can also check Settings → MCP for a green status indicator.

.cursor/mcp.json

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