Perplexity

Inject live transit data into Cursor code

Use `plan_trip` and `get_transit_feed` to fetch actual route data while you code. Your agent writes logic based on live API responses instead of mock files. This lets you test your UI against real European transit schedules. You define the logic, and the server provides the data structures needed to populate your app.

Search and map transit stops in Cursor

Call `search_stops` to find transit hubs by name or location during your development process. It returns precise coordinates and served lines for each stop. Use `get_stop_info` to pull accessibility features and amenity data into your project. You spend less time searching documentation and more time building features.

Validate network status in Cursor

Integrate `get_network_status` to build disruption alerts into your application. Your code can now react to delays or strikes reported by transit operators. Your agent uses these tools to ensure your code handles service interruptions gracefully. It keeps your transit app logic accurate for end users.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

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

Common questions about Lyko MCP in Cursor

Create an mcp.json file in your project root or global settings. Define the server there, and then enable Agent mode in your chat to start calling tools.

Absolutely. Once configured, your agent can call tools like `get_line_info` to inject real data into the files you are currently writing.

You can. By using `plan_trip` in your agent session, you get real itinerary results that you can use to debug your transit application logic.

The `search_stops` tool provides IDs and locations for any stop. You use these IDs as arguments for other tools like `get_departures` to build out your features.

The server processes only the location and transit IDs required for your code. No diagnostic data or personal transit history is tracked beyond the current session.
