How to Use the Keen MCP in Cursor

Q: Can I use Keen and Cursor to manage my event schema?

You can use the metadata tools like listcollections to inspect your schema. This helps the agent write better code that conforms to your existing data structure.

Agentic data access in Cursor

Let your Cursor agent call `count_events` or `sum_property` to base its code suggestions on actual production data. It stops the agent from hallucinating metrics by feeding it real values from your backend. This creates a tighter feedback loop where the code you write is informed by what your users are actually doing. It feels like having a data analyst sitting right inside your editor.

Automated event schema verification

Use `list_collections` and `get_project_details` to let Cursor understand your event structure before writing tracking code. It ensures your implementation matches your existing data architecture. When the agent knows the current collections, it writes more accurate `record_event` calls. You spend less time fixing schema mismatches and more time building features.

Rapid data exploration

Ask Cursor to run `select_unique` or `count_unique` to quickly debug data issues during your coding session. You get the raw data back in your chat window for immediate analysis. Having these tools available as an MCP Server means you don't break flow to check the database. Everything stays within your editing environment, keeping your focus on the task.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

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

Common questions about Keen MCP in Cursor

Create an mcp.json file in your project root and add the Keen server configuration. Cursor detects this file automatically and activates the tools for your agent.

Yes, enabling the Keen MCP server allows the agent to execute queries like `average_property` directly. It makes your agent much more effective at data-driven tasks.

You can use the metadata tools like `list_collections` to inspect your schema. This helps the agent write better code that conforms to your existing data structure.

You provide your project ID and keys via environment variables that the server reads at runtime. This keeps sensitive credentials out of your repository.

The server acts as a pass-through to the Keen API. Your raw event data is never cached or stored by the agent or the MCP process, ensuring your data remains private.
