How to Use the Metronome MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I configure the Metronome MCP Server in Cursor?

Create a .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root and add the Metronome configuration. Once saved, enable Agent mode in the chat panel to let the editor invoke the billing tools.

Q: Can I test event ingestion using Metronome and Cursor?

Yes, you can ask Cursor to run ingestevents with mock data to test your ingestion pipeline. The editor will display the response status so you can verify your payloads are correct.

Q: How do I manage Metronome contracts inside Cursor?

You can tell Cursor to fetch active agreements using listcontracts or update them using editcontract. The editor uses these tools to inspect and modify live contract data during your coding session.

Q: Can I create new billing metrics with this server?

Yes, you can instruct the agent to run createbillablemetric directly from the chat window. This lets you define new meters without opening a browser to access the dashboard.

Write billing code and test Metronome API responses directly inside your Cursor editor sessions.

Generate billing code with real Metronome data

This MCP Server connects Cursor directly to your live billing environment, letting you write code that uses real responses from `list_products` and `list_credit_types`. Instead of guessing the structure of your pricing units, the editor pulls the actual JSON schema into your context. When you write integration tests, you can ask Cursor to call `search_events` to verify how your local event stream maps to Metronome's ingestion system. This eliminates the need to jump back and forth between your code and an API testing tool.

Scaffold customer onboarding flows in Cursor

Building automated user provisioning scripts becomes trivial when your Cursor agent has access to `create_customer` and `create_contract`. You can describe your billing workflow in plain English, and the agent will generate the correct TypeScript or Python code while verifying the API calls succeed. If your application needs custom metadata, the agent can use `add_custom_field_key` and `set_custom_field_values` to configure your schema during development. You get working, tested integration code on your first try.

Debug billing alerts directly from your editor

Debugging complex webhook alerts is painless when Cursor has direct access to `create_alert` and `create_notification`. You can write backend webhooks to handle these alerts while the editor generates the exact payloads you should expect. By calling `get_audit_logs` directly inside Cursor, you can trace errors and verify that your local webhooks are processing Metronome lifecycle events correctly. It makes end-to-end billing integration testing much faster.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

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