Perplexity

Inject live pay run data into your code

The KeyPay MCP Server feeds real financial data straight into your editor. When you write a script to audit payroll, Cursor calls `list_pay_runs` and `get_pay_run_details` to grab actual production data instead of mocking it. You stop guessing what the API response looks like. The agent pulls live arrays using `list_pay_run_earnings` and formats your TypeScript interfaces perfectly on the first try.

Build employee portals with actual data

This integration gives Cursor direct access to your Employment Hero roster. Your AI client triggers `list_employees` and `get_employee_details` to populate the frontend components you are currently building. You write the UI. Cursor handles the data binding. It pulls real names, roles, and status flags so you can see exactly how the layout breaks with long names or missing fields.

Test leave request logic instantly

Writing internal HR tools with this MCP Server requires testing edge cases. Cursor uses `list_leave_requests` to fetch real pending and approved time-off entries for your business logic tests. The same goes for document generation. The agent runs `list_pay_slips` to verify payload structures while you code the PDF parsing functions. You get accurate types without digging through API docs.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

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

Common questions about KeyPay MCP in Cursor

Create an mcp.json file in your project root. Add the server details and your API token. Agent mode will pick it up automatically.

Not a chance. The available tools only fetch information. You can safely let the agent read records without worrying about accidental payroll changes.

Yes. Ask the agent to check the structure of recent deductions. It runs the list endpoint and pastes the exact JSON response into your scratchpad.

You use your standard Employment Hero token. Just keep it out of version control and pass it via environment variables.

The server processes sensitive leave requests and payslip URLs. Vinkius routes this traffic through an ephemeral zero-trust V8 isolate. The memory drops the moment the API call completes.
