How to Use the Kibana MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I fetch Kibana saved object schemas inside Cursor?

Use the Cursor agent to call getsavedobject with the target ID. The agent pulls the live schema and writes it directly into your active file.

Q: Can I create a Kibana data view from my Cursor editor?

Yes. Ask the Cursor agent to run createdataview with your index pattern, and it will configure the data view instantly.

Q: Does this Kibana MCP Server work with Cursor Agent mode?

Yes, the server connects via your .cursor/mcp.json file, allowing Agent mode to read and write space configurations.

Q: How do I verify Kibana rule updates inside Cursor?

Ask the agent to execute updaterule, then verify the new thresholds by calling getrule directly from your chat window.

Build Kibana data views and verify saved objects directly inside Cursor code sessions using this MCP Server.

Write Code That Interacts with Kibana Saved Objects

This MCP Server uses `get_saved_object` and `find_saved_objects` to feed live Kibana dashboard schemas directly into your Cursor editor. The AI agent reads the exact structure of your visualizations, allowing you to write precise TypeScript interfaces without guessing the JSON layout. As you write Kibana migration scripts in Cursor, the agent pulls real dashboard payloads from your development space. It flags mismatched fields before you commit, saving you from runtime failures.

Scaffold and Test Kibana Alerting Rules in Cursor

The server invokes `create_rule` and `find_rules` to let you define and test Kibana alerting logic directly inside Cursor. You write the rule parameters in your editor, and the agent instantly runs them against your cluster to verify the syntax. If a Kibana rule fails to trigger, you ask the Cursor agent to debug the configuration. It calls `get_rule` to fetch the execution logs and highlights the exact line in your code that caused the mismatch.

Manage Spaces and Security Roles from Cursor Chat

This Kibana MCP integration relies on `create_space` and `create_or_update_role` to configure environment boundaries and access controls inside Cursor. You can scaffold a complete tenant setup script and execute it immediately without leaving your workspace. The Cursor agent calls `list_spaces` to confirm your configuration matches your target Kibana cluster. It ensures your newly generated roles map correctly to the specified spaces before you deploy to production.

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 Kibana 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.
