How to Use the MarketMan MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I configure the MarketMan MCP Server inside Cursor?

Create an mcp.json file in your project's .cursor directory and add the server's executable command. Once configured, the MCP Server allows Cursor's AI agent to call the tools during chat sessions.

Q: Can Cursor help me build a custom dashboard for MarketMan waste events?

Yes, you can use the getwasteevents tool to pull live loss records into your workspace. The AI can then write the frontend code to visualize this data in real time.

Q: Does Cursor support live querying of MarketMan vendor pricing?

Yes, calling listvendors fetches your active supplier agreements directly into the editor. This lets you write code that audits invoice discrepancies against contracted rates.

Q: How do I pull active inventory levels when writing code in Cursor?

Ask the agent to execute listinventory to retrieve your live stock counts. This provides the exact schema needed to build custom replenishment logic.

Build custom restaurant analytics tools in Cursor with live access to your purchase orders, recipe sheets, and vendor costs.

Perplexity

Inject live MarketMan data directly into Cursor code

The `list_inventory` and `list_categories` tools pull live production inventory data directly into your Cursor code. Mocking API responses is painful when you can write logic against actual stock structures. This MCP Server lets you write code that handles actual restaurant counts. You will build integrations faster because you are working with real JSON payloads from the start.

Automate food cost math

The `list_recipes` and `list_vendors` tools calculate plate margins directly inside your editor. Menu engineering requires constant recalculation of raw prep costs. Your coding agent can write the logic and test it against your actual supplier contracts. This keeps your calculations accurate without manual data entry.

Track procurement trends programmatically

The `list_purchase_orders` tool retrieves order patterns and vendor performance details directly inside Cursor. Prototyping custom procurement alerts is fast when you can run queries right next to your code. This MCP integration makes it happen. Having this data accessible to your editor means you can prototype custom procurement alerts in minutes. No API playground or Postman required.

Setup guide

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