How to Use the MaintainX MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I configure MaintainX inside the Cursor editor?

Add the MaintainX MCP Server settings to your project's .cursor/mcp.json file. Once saved, Cursor's AI agent can immediately call the maintenance tools to read or write live data.

Q: Can I write code using real MaintainX data in Cursor?

Yes. Cursor uses listmaintenanceassets and getassetdetails to fetch real equipment schemas, allowing the AI to write highly accurate code tailored to your exact database.

Q: How do I verify MaintainX work order statuses inside Cursor?

You can ask the Cursor agent to run listmaintenanceorders or getworkorderdetails directly in the chat sidebar to check the current state of any ticket.

Q: Can I manage my facility locations during development?

The listfacilitylocations tool allows your Cursor agent to fetch your real-world locations, ensuring your automated dispatch code maps tickets to valid physical spaces.

Generate code that pulls live MaintainX asset data and creates work orders directly inside Cursor.

Build automation scripts with Cursor MCP Server tools

The `create_new_work_order` tool lets you generate and test real maintenance tickets while writing code in Cursor. The editor's native MCP integration calls this tool directly to verify that your automated maintenance scripts actually create valid records. Instead of writing code against mock payloads, you can write active scripts that trigger actual MaintainX work orders. This ensures your custom dispatch logic works perfectly before you commit it.

Inspect live asset metadata inside Cursor

The `get_asset_details` tool pulls real-time hardware specs and maintenance history directly into your Cursor editor. When building custom dashboards, your AI agent uses this tool to understand the exact JSON structure of your physical equipment. You can also run `list_maintenance_assets` to check how your physical database represents equipment hierarchies. It saves you from constant context switching between your code editor and the API docs.

Track ticket lifecycles directly within Cursor

The `get_work_order_details` tool retrieves the complete history and current state of any specific maintenance ticket. Your Cursor agent uses this MCP tool to write and debug custom status-tracking features or notification triggers. When you need to test state transitions, use `update_work_order_status` to toggle tickets between progress states. This lets you inspect how your code handles live webhook events or status updates.

Setup guide

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