How to Use the Kisi MCP in Cursor

Q: Can I use Kisi tools in my Cursor project?

You can. Define the server in your .cursor/mcp.json file. Once configured, your agent can call Kisi tools like listkisigroups automatically.

Q: How do I trigger a Kisi lockdown in Cursor?

Ask your agent to run lockdownkisilock with the appropriate lock ID. The tool sends the signal to the Kisi cloud to secure the door.

Q: Does Cursor support the full Kisi MCP Server?

Yes, all 10 tools are supported. From listkisiplaces to getkisilock, you have full programmatic control over your access hardware.

Integrate Kisi access control into your Cursor workflow. Execute lock commands and audit user permissions while you code.

Automate Kisi tasks in Cursor

Inject `unlock_kisi_lock` or `lockdown_kisi_lock` calls directly into your agent-assisted coding session. This lets you test security logic against real API responses instead of static mocks. Your code interacts with the physical world through the MCP protocol. It's the fastest way to build and debug access control features.

Query Kisi data in Cursor

Use `list_kisi_users` to pull organization data into your editor context. You can then use `get_kisi_user` to inspect specific profiles without leaving the IDE. This keeps your data flow local to your current task. You spend less time context-switching and more time building.

Verify facility status via MCP Server

Run `list_kisi_locks` and `check_kisi_status` to confirm your infrastructure is healthy. You can verify place configurations by calling `get_kisi_place` during your setup process. This ensures your code works against live system state. You catch configuration errors before they hit production.

Setup guide

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

Common questions about Kisi MCP in Cursor

Cursor uses the MCP Server to call API endpoints directly. When you trigger a tool, the server executes the request and returns the data to your chat window.

You can. Define the server in your `.cursor/mcp.json` file. Once configured, your agent can call Kisi tools like `list_kisi_groups` automatically.

Your user list is handled by the server and only exposed to the AI client during your active session. No PII is cached by the editor itself.

Ask your agent to run `lockdown_kisi_lock` with the appropriate lock ID. The tool sends the signal to the Kisi cloud to secure the door.

Yes, all 10 tools are supported. From `list_kisi_places` to `get_kisi_lock`, you have full programmatic control over your access hardware.
