How to Use the McLeod Software MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I add the McLeod Software MCP Server to Cursor?

You create a .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root and add the server configuration. Once configured, enable Agent mode in your Cursor chat panel to start querying.

Q: Does Cursor support global MCP configuration for McLeod Software?

Yes, you can add it to your global /.cursor/mcp.json file. This makes your freight and dispatch tools available across all your coding projects.

Q: How does Cursor handle complex multi-stop searches?

The agent combines listmovements and liststops to map out complex routes. It parses the nested JSON structure directly in your Cursor chat sidebar.

Generate code in Cursor with live McLeod Software API context

This MCP Server feeds real-time transportation data directly into your Cursor agent. When writing custom logistics dashboards, your editor uses `list_orders` and `get_order` to pull actual payloads instead of relying on outdated mock JSON files. This means the code you generate in Cursor matches your actual database schema. You do not have to waste time fixing type mismatches or broken endpoints after you deploy.

Debug routing and dispatch logic inside Cursor

This toolset lets you test your routing logic directly inside your editor. Your Cursor agent calls `list_movements` and `list_stops` to inspect active truck routes while you write custom tracking algorithms. If your code fails to calculate an ETA, you ask the agent to run `get_dispatch_details` on the spot. It analyzes the live response payload to pinpoint the exact bug in your local code.

Build carrier matching features with real directories

This MCP integration connects your coding environment to your master directories. Your Cursor agent queries `list_carriers` and `list_customers` to help you write and test automated load-matching scripts. You can write a script, run it in the terminal, and have the agent verify the output against live driver lists using `list_drivers`. It eliminates the guesswork from building custom dispatch automation.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

Common questions about McLeod Software MCP in Cursor

You create a `.cursor/mcp.json` file in your project root and add the server configuration. Once configured, enable Agent mode in your Cursor chat panel to start querying.

No, these tools are read-only. Your agent can query records using `list_orders` and `get_order` but cannot alter your production database.

Yes, you can add it to your global `~/.cursor/mcp.json` file. This makes your freight and dispatch tools available across all your coding projects.

The agent combines `list_movements` and `list_stops` to map out complex routes. It parses the nested JSON structure directly in your Cursor chat sidebar.

All directory queries run through an ephemeral, zero-trust sandbox. Your customer list and carrier records are never cached, keeping your commercial data completely isolated from external logs.
