How to Use the Metaplane MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I configure Metaplane inside Cursor?

Add the server configuration to your .cursor/mcp.json file. Provide your Vinkius token in the environment variables, enable Agent mode in your editor settings, and you can start querying your monitors.

Q: Can Cursor use MCP to trigger a Metaplane monitor during a local test run?

Yes, the agent can call triggermonitorrun directly from the chat panel. This allows you to verify that your schema changes resolved an active incident before committing code.

Q: How does the Metaplane integration assist with Cursor code generation?

When writing database migrations, the agent uses listconnectionschemas to check the current production layout. It generates code that references actual columns, preventing spelling errors and missing field exceptions.

Q: Can I check workspace settings inside the editor?

Yes, running getaccountinfo pulls your workspace metadata. It helps verify you are authenticated against the correct production environment before executing other commands.

Write clean code that responds to live data pipeline incidents using this MCP Server for Cursor.

Debug data pipeline failures during development

The Metaplane integration allows you to query active incidents while writing your transformation code. When a dbt run fails, you ask Cursor in Agent mode to execute `list_incidents` to see if schema drift broke the build. The agent pulls the exact failed column details. You can immediately patch the SQL file in your editor, write a migration, and push the fix without switching context.

Generate test suites with the Metaplane MCP Server

This MCP Server helps you write integration tests based on your actual production metrics. By calling `get_monitor_runs`, the agent inspects historical data patterns and writes assertions that match real-world distributions. Instead of guessing standard deviations or row count limits, your editor drafts mock test cases using the parameters returned by `get_monitor`. You get accurate tests that reflect actual warehouse activity.

Map database connections directly in your editor

Inspecting your production data sources is direct when you run `list_data_connections` inside Cursor chat. The editor displays your active databases, warehouses, and BI tools right alongside your configuration files. If you are setting up a new service, ask the agent to run `list_connection_schemas` to verify which tables are exposed. You write your configuration files using verified schema names instead of relying on outdated documentation.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

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