Inject Live Location Data in Cursor

`enrich_location` lets Cursor fetch real geographic context while you write your backend logic. If you are building an address validation function, your agent can call `get_postcode_data` to test the logic with actual Australian localities. You never have to leave the editor to mock up JSON responses. The MCP Server feeds accurate spatial payloads directly into your test files, so you code against the real API structure from day one.

Test Spatial Routing

`get_isochrone` calculates travel-time boundaries and hands the raw GeoJSON back to your editor. When you need spatial indexing, `get_h3_index` translates point data into standard hex grids. Cursor uses these tools to populate your mapping components with live data. Instead of hardcoding dummy coordinates, your agent writes the rendering logic and tests it immediately with real catchment zones.

Fetch Boundary Demographics

`get_demographics` pulls population statistics for specific boundaries right into your workspace. Your agent uses `search_boundaries` to find the correct statistical area codes before requesting the data. If you forget which datasets are available, `list_data_topics` returns the active catalog. Cursor reads this list and suggests the correct parameters for your API calls, cutting out constant context switching to external documentation.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

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

Common questions about Mapulus MCP in Cursor

Create an mcp.json file in your project root or global Cursor directory. Add the server command or URL, then enable Agent mode in the chat panel.

It absolutely can. The agent fetches real population stats via the tools and injects them as test fixtures directly into your codebase.

Once connected, the agent reads the tool schemas automatically. You just prompt it to fetch an isochrone, and it handles the required parameters.

Standard clients require you to manually copy and paste JSON responses. This integration lets the editor fetch the data and write the parsing logic in one fluid motion.

No. Mapulus only receives the spatial parameters required to fetch Australian boundary and demographic data. Your source code remains strictly within your local editor environment and your AI provider's secure pipeline.
