Automate task updates in Cursor

Use `create_new_task` and `update_existing_task` to keep your project backlog current while you write code. Your agent handles these calls directly, meaning your task state stays in sync with your development progress. It removes the friction of jumping between your IDE and your productivity app. You can trigger these updates as part of your natural coding flow.

Track habits while you build in Cursor

Call `track_habit_completion` when you finish a coding session or a specific milestone. It logs your work habits without forcing you to leave the editor window. This keeps your focus on the code. You get to maintain your personal metrics while staying deep in your build environment.

Query task metadata via the Lunatask MCP Server

Run `list_tasks_metadata` to see what is on your plate without breaking your concentration. The server provides the necessary structure, allowing the agent to assist with scheduling and prioritization. Need more detail? Use `get_task_metadata` to inspect specific items. It is a clean way to stay organized while the AI writes your code.

Setup guide

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

Common questions about Lunatask MCP in Cursor

Create a .cursor/mcp.json file in your project directory. Add the Lunatask server configuration there, then enable Agent mode to start using the tools.

No. The integration only interacts with encrypted metadata, so your raw notes and journal contents are never visible to the AI.

You can create, update, and delete tasks directly from the chat panel. It turns your editor into a command center for your productivity.

You can set it up globally in your home directory or locally per project. Either way, the connection remains private to your machine.

It exposes metadata such as task IDs and status flags. Your actual task content remains encrypted and inaccessible to the AI client.
