How to Use the Liftoff MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I add the Liftoff MCP Server to my Cursor editor?

Create a .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root and add the server configuration under the mcpServers key. Once saved, enable Agent mode in the chat panel to let Cursor access the tools.

Q: How does Cursor handle long-running Liftoff performance reports?

When you ask Cursor to fetch a report, it uses requestperformancereport and polls getreportstatus in the background, keeping you updated until the CSV is ready to download.

Q: Can I share this server configuration with my team?

Yes, committing the .cursor/mcp.json file to your git repository allows any teammate using the editor to access the same tools instantly, provided they have their own Vinkius token.

Write code in Cursor that pulls real-time Liftoff ad performance data directly into your local development files.

Perplexity

Generate code using live Liftoff campaign structures

Stop writing code against stale mock data or guessing API payloads. By running this MCP Server in Cursor, your editor's agent can query your live advertising setup to fetch actual IDs and structures. It uses `list_liftoff_campaigns` and `list_liftoff_apps` to pull real-time structures right into your active file. This means the code Cursor generates for you is built around your actual mobile apps and campaign targets. The agent writes exact functions using real IDs, saving you from manual debugging cycles later.

Build custom analytics dashboards with live spend data

When you are building internal tools, you need to see how real data behaves in your UI. Cursor uses `get_spend_metrics` to grab fresh performance and spend data directly from your ad accounts. The agent can run this tool, look at the returned JSON structure, and immediately write the exact parsing logic and frontend components needed to display your mobile ad spend.

Automate report downloads during development

Testing an export pipeline is painful when you have to manually download test files. In Cursor, your agent can call `request_performance_report` and monitor it with `get_report_status` to fetch fresh CSVs on demand. Once the file is ready, the agent uses `download_report_results` to save the raw performance data into your project's test directory, making it incredibly easy to verify your parser works.

Setup guide

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