How to Use the Mapflow MCP in Cursor

Q: Will Cursor show Mapflow results as code?

Yes. When you call getprocessingresult, Cursor displays the GeoJSON data as a structured object you can immediately manipulate or save to a file.

Q: Can I use Mapflow with Cursor to automate building detection?

Absolutely. Use listmodels to find the building extraction model, then pass your coordinates to createprocessing to get the footprint data.

Integrate Mapflow directly into your Cursor editor. Turn satellite pixels into actionable code and vector data.

Native geospatial integration for Cursor

Use Cursor's agent mode to trigger `create_processing` on your imagery. The agent writes the code to handle your GeoJSON output immediately. Stop copying and pasting results. Your editor receives the data from `get_processing_result` and keeps it in your project context for further development.

Synchronize project data inside Cursor

Use `list_projects` to keep your local environment synced with your remote Mapflow state. It keeps your development flow moving without context switching. When you start a new task, `create_project` initializes the workspace. You spend less time configuring environments and more time writing features.

Debug geospatial pipelines in your editor

Get real-time feedback on your processing jobs using `get_processing_status`. If a job stalls, you see it instantly in your terminal or chat window. Use `list_models` to verify your project uses the latest extraction logic. It prevents errors before they reach your production GIS pipeline.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

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

Common questions about Mapflow MCP in Cursor

Create a .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root. Define the server details there, enable Agent mode, and start invoking tools directly in your chat.

Yes. When you call `get_processing_result`, Cursor displays the GeoJSON data as a structured object you can immediately manipulate or save to a file.

Absolutely. Use `list_models` to find the building extraction model, then pass your coordinates to `create_processing` to get the footprint data.

Your API keys and credentials are encrypted. The MCP server acts as a secure conduit for your geospatial extraction requests.

The server only handles the metadata and extraction output. Your raw satellite files remain where you host them, and Mapflow processes the defined area.
