How to Use the Kargo MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I add the Kargo MCP Server to my Cursor editor?

Create a .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root and add the server configuration details. Once configured, Cursor Agent mode will automatically detect the logistics tools for your next prompt.

Generate code with live logistics data by connecting the Kargo MCP Server directly to Cursor.

Generate Code with Live Shipment Data

The `get_shipment` tool pulls active transit records directly into Cursor so your AI agent writes code using real payloads. Instead of writing stubs or guessing JSON schemas, you build integrations with actual shipping data. This ensures your warehouse functions handle edge cases correctly from the start. While working in Agent mode, Cursor calls `list_shipments` to populate your local files with active facility data. You watch the editor write, test, and refine logic using live logistics context.

Debug Supply Chain Integrations

The `list_payload_logs` tool exposes raw sync payloads directly inside the Cursor terminal interface. When debugging a failing sync, your agent queries these logs to pinpoint exactly where the data format broke down. This eliminates the need to jump back and forth between your code editor and external log viewers. By pairing this log data with `get_order`, Cursor highlights mismatched fields in your local ERP integration files. You fix bugs in minutes because the error context sits right next to the code.

Query Facility IoT Devices via Cursor MCP Server

The `list_devices` tool retrieves all active hardware sensors at a facility directly into your Cursor workspace. Your agent uses this live physical inventory to build monitoring scripts or automated alert systems. You build hardware integrations with the confidence that your device IDs are accurate. If you need to verify a specific sensor, Cursor calls `get_device_status` to check its current network state. This keeps your local development environment perfectly in sync with physical dock hardware.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

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

Common questions about Kargo MCP in Cursor

Create a `.cursor/mcp.json` file in your project root and add the server configuration details. Once configured, Cursor Agent mode will automatically detect the logistics tools for your next prompt.

Configure the connection globally or per project. Cursor reads your settings file to spin up the tools via local command line or a secure remote MCP connection.

Yes, when you ask Cursor to build or debug logistics features, the Agent mode invokes tools like `update_logistics` to test real-world data syncing. You retain full control to approve or reject any tool execution.

Cursor displays all active tools in the MCP panel of your settings. You can review the exact parameters for endpoints like `list_facilities` before letting the AI write code against them.

Every request to fetch IoT device states or payload logs runs through an isolated zero-trust sandbox. Your physical facility configurations and sensor logs are never used for model training, keeping your operational footprint private.
