How to Use the Kisi MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I set up the Kisi MCP Server in Cursor?

Create a .cursor/mcp.json file in your project's root directory. Add the Kisi server configuration from Vinkius to this file, and Cursor's agent will automatically pick up the tools. You can also configure it globally in your home directory.

Q: How can I audit permissions using Kisi and Cursor?

Tell the agent to listusers and listaccessgroups. Then, ask it to compare the two lists and identify users who are in a specific group. It can write a script to automate this for you.

Inject live Kisi access control data and user IDs directly into your code with Cursor.

Build with Real User Data

Stop hardcoding placeholder IDs in your admin scripts. With Cursor's agent mode, you can tell it to `list_users` from your actual Kisi account. It pulls the real names and IDs, letting you build functions that work on the first try. Take it a step further by mapping roles. Have your agent `list_role_assignments` and then generate a Python dictionary or a TypeScript enum of your access levels. This makes writing accurate permission-checking logic much faster because you're not guessing at role names.

Script Physical Access Controls

You can write code that interacts with the physical world. Ask your agent to `list_places` and then `list_locks` to find the exact ID for the server room door. No more digging through API docs or an admin panel. Then, tell Cursor: "Write a script that uses the `unlock_door` tool to open the lock with ID 555-123." It will generate working code that calls the MCP tool, ready for you to integrate into an internal dashboard or a CI/CD task for physical deployments.

A Kisi MCP Server for Your Editor

This MCP server connects Cursor directly to the Kisi API. It gives your AI agent a toolkit for managing your building's security system. You don't just talk about code; you generate code that uses live, real-world data. This changes how you build internal tools. Instead of mocking API calls to a security system, you can use the agent to perform real actions. Ask it to `get_lock_details` and use that live JSON response to structure your data models correctly from the start.

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.

.cursor/mcp.json

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

Common questions about Kisi MCP in Cursor

Create a `.cursor/mcp.json` file in your project's root directory. Add the Kisi server configuration from Vinkius to this file, and Cursor's agent will automatically pick up the tools. You can also configure it globally in your home directory.

Absolutely. Activate agent mode and ask it to write a script that calls the `unlock_door` tool with a specific lock ID. The agent will generate the code, which you can then run or modify.

Tell the agent to `list_users` and `list_access_groups`. Then, ask it to compare the two lists and identify users who are in a specific group. It can write a script to automate this for you.

It's not for everyday use. It's for developers building internal admin panels, automation scripts, or security workflows. It lets you write and test code that interacts with Kisi using real data without leaving your editor.

Your Kisi API key is managed by the Vinkius MCP Server, not your source code. When Cursor's agent calls a tool, data like user profiles, role assignments, and lock details passes through the server to your local editor. Be mindful that this live data will be part of your agent's context.
