How to Use the MENU TIGER MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I configure MENU TIGER in my Cursor editor?

Add the MENU TIGER configuration to your .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root. Once configured, enable Agent mode in your Cursor chat, and your agent can immediately call listorders to pull live restaurant data into your active workspace.

Q: Does MENU TIGER support live menu debugging inside Cursor?

Yes, Cursor uses listmenus and listcategories to fetch your complete digital menu hierarchy. You can ask the editor to write custom components using these live structures, and it will use getitem to populate the code with real details.

Build custom restaurant applications and manage MENU TIGER digital menus directly from Cursor using real-time kitchen order data.

Query live MENU TIGER data inside the Cursor editor

This MENU TIGER MCP Server tool lets your Cursor agent pull live restaurant data directly into your coding workspace. The agent uses `list_items` and `get_item` to fetch real pricing and descriptions, allowing you to write frontend code with actual menu data instead of dummy placeholders. While building custom checkout pages or digital displays, Cursor runs `get_menu` to inspect your active layouts. This ensures the UI components you write match the exact categories returned by your physical QR menu system.

Debug order workflows in Cursor Agent mode

When writing custom webhooks for your kitchen, the Cursor agent uses `list_orders` to inspect recent transaction payloads. It checks specific fields like table numbers and payment states by running `get_order` right inside your chat panel. If you need to test how your application handles state changes, Cursor can trigger `update_order_status` to simulate kitchen events. This lets you debug order lifecycles from preparing to completed without manual API requests.

Verify merchant configurations during local development

This tool uses `get_account` to pull your active merchant profile directly into Cursor using the MCP Server connection. It helps you verify that your local environment variables match the production store configuration before you deploy. The agent also runs `check_menutiger_status` to confirm that Cursor has an active connection to the menu API. This prevents you from writing integration code against a disconnected or offline endpoint.

Setup guide

Set up MENU TIGER 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 MENU TIGER 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.
