Build software with real Mela data in Cursor

`get_activity` pulls detailed specifications for any job site, and `get_accounting_data` delivers actual financial figures straight to your editor. Cursor uses these tools to write code against live API payloads instead of static mock files. You don't have to guess the JSON structure of your project logs. This MCP Server feeds real-time schema structures directly to your editor's agent, speeding up your integration builds.

Manage site operations directly from your editor

`update_activity_status` changes project phases and `list_activities` displays every active job site in your workspace. Your editor handles these operational changes while you write code using the MCP Server. This setup lets you test your project management workflows without leaving your workspace. You run the tools directly in Cursor's chat to verify how your database responds to status changes.

Coordinate team resources and track materials

`list_teams` checks your active workspace groups while `log_materials` updates physical inventory consumption. Your developer agent queries these endpoints to map team assignments directly to resource logs. You write scripts that cross-reference user lists with material costs. The editor executes these queries in real time, giving you instant feedback on your data models.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

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