How to Use the Kinde (Modern Authentication) MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I add Kinde (Modern Authentication) to my Cursor workspace?

Create a .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root and define the MCP server. Once defined, the Cursor agent can immediately run tools like listusers to assist with your development tasks.

Q: Can Cursor write TypeScript types from Kinde (Modern Authentication) schemas?

Yes, the agent uses listroles and listpermissions to fetch your exact setup. It then writes strict TypeScript interfaces in Cursor that match your live configuration perfectly.

Q: How do I test organization creation flows in Cursor?

Instruct the agent in Composer to run createorganization with a test payload. It will create the tenant in your sandbox and return the organization ID for your test suite.

Generate auth integration code in Cursor using live user and organization data pulled directly from Kinde.

Write auth code using live Kinde MCP Server data

The `list_roles` tool pulls actual role IDs directly into Cursor so your agent can write exact TypeScript definitions instead of placeholder strings. You get precise code generation because the editor knows your real Kinde environment configuration. Instead of copying IDs from a browser tab, you let the agent run `list_permissions` to map your middleware rules. The generated code matches your live security schema on the first try.

Provision sandbox test users during active coding

The `create_user` tool lets you generate real test accounts on the fly inside the Cursor Composer panel. You don't need to pause your coding session to manually populate the Kinde database. After creating the user, run `get_user` to inspect the exact JSON payload your frontend will receive. This immediate feedback loop lets you debug token parsing logic in Cursor before you even commit your changes.

Manage team tenants without leaving your editor

The `create_organization` tool builds new tenant environments directly from your workspace config files. Your Cursor agent reads your local multi-tenant configuration and instantiates the matching orgs in your developer sandbox. If you need to verify existing setups, the agent calls `list_organizations` to compare your local configuration against Kinde. You catch drift between your database seeds and your auth provider instantly.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

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

Yes, the agent uses `list_roles` and `list_permissions` to fetch your exact setup. It then writes strict TypeScript interfaces in Cursor that match your live configuration perfectly.

No, you inject your Kinde credentials as local environment variables in your MCP configuration. The editor accesses them locally, keeping your production API keys off external servers.

Instruct the agent in Composer to run `create_organization` with a test payload. It will create the tenant in your sandbox and return the organization ID for your test suite.

No, your user records, emails, and role configurations are processed locally and never indexed by Cursor. All API communication travels directly to Kinde's endpoints through an MCP connection.
