Q: How do I set up the Kitsu MCP server in Cursor?

Create an mcp.json file in your project root or global config. Add the server details there, and Cursor will load the tools into your agent.

Query Kitsu titles inside Cursor

Use `get_anime` or `get_manga` to pull specific details while you work. You don't have to pause your coding session to look up series info. It keeps your context focused. The agent grabs the data and presents it right in your editor.

Sync your Kitsu library from Cursor

Update your status with `update_library_entry` without leaving your IDE. If you need to add something new, `create_library_entry` handles it. This keeps your tracking consistent. You stay in the flow and let the agent manage your library state.

Retrieve Kitsu user data in Cursor

Call `get_current_user` to verify your account context. It confirms your identity so the agent knows exactly which library to modify. This provides a clear link between your editor and your account. You always know which profile is active.

Setup guide

Set up Kitsu 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 Kitsu 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.

Enable Agent mode
