How to Use the Manatal MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I install the Manatal MCP server in Cursor?

Create an mcp.json file in your project root directory. Add the server command or remote URL under the mcpServers object. Toggle Agent mode on in the chat panel to activate the tools.

Q: Why did Cursor fail to fetch the Manatal career pages?

Your API key might lack the correct permissions. The listcareerpages tool requires specific read access in your ATS settings. Verify the token scopes in your admin panel and try the prompt again.

Build internal HR tools fast by letting Cursor pull live Manatal job and applicant data straight into your codebase.

Perplexity

Inject live ATS data into your code

The `list_jobs` tool injects active requisition data directly into the file you are editing via MCP. Instead of hardcoding mock job titles to test your custom career page UI, Cursor hits the API and populates your components with real open roles. You see exactly how the layout handles long text strings. Drilling down works just as fast. The `get_job` endpoint grabs the specific department tags and salary bands for a single role. Your agent writes the exact GraphQL queries or REST wrappers needed to handle that specific payload structure, skipping the guesswork completely.

Prototype dashboards with an MCP Server

Building an internal recruiter dashboard requires real state transitions, which this MCP Server handles via `list_applications`. Cursor pulls 50 active interview loops into your editor. You can instantly test your sorting algorithms against actual disorganized data instead of clean test arrays. When you need to design the detail view, `get_application` provides the exact JSON schema you have to parse. The AI client writes the TypeScript interfaces based on the live response. You stop wasting time reading outdated API documentation and just write code.

Map enterprise structures in Cursor

Mapping out enterprise structures is messy unless Cursor can run `list_organizations` to see the actual hierarchy. The agent pulls the parent companies and child entities straight from your ATS. It then drafts the database schema required to mirror that structure locally. Need specific unit details? You fire off `get_organization` alongside `list_departments`. The editor reads the exact IDs and naming conventions your HR team uses, ensuring your custom integration matches production data perfectly on the first compile.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

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

Common questions about Manatal MCP in Cursor

Create an `mcp.json` file in your project root directory. Add the server command or remote URL under the `mcpServers` object. Toggle Agent mode on in the chat panel to activate the tools.

It cannot modify anything. The tools only read data via endpoints like `list_departments`. Your core ATS configuration remains completely untouched during development.

You write the code to generate them, but the tools only fetch real ones. The agent uses `list_candidates` to understand the data shape. From there, it writes the script you need to populate your own test database.

Your API key might lack the correct permissions. The `list_career_pages` tool requires specific read access in your ATS settings. Verify the token scopes in your admin panel and try the prompt again.

The integration processes sensitive interview feedback and applicant names strictly in memory. The MCP protocol routes the `get_application` response directly to the active prompt context. Nothing gets logged to external training servers or saved in your local cache.
