How to Use the Microlink MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I set up Microlink inside my Cursor project?

Create a .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root. Add this MCP server under the mcpServers key with your Vinkius credentials, and your agent will immediately see the tools.

Q: Can Cursor run Microlink tools in Agent mode?

Yes, Cursor's Agent mode can call takescreenshot or extractmetadata autonomously to fetch live web data. Your Cursor agent uses the MCP protocol to call these tools and write code based on real-time web payloads.

Q: How does Microlink handle dynamic pages in Cursor?

The takescreenshot tool waits for JavaScript to execute before capturing the page. Your Cursor agent receives the final rendered layout, which is perfect for debugging single-page apps.

Q: Can I configure custom headers for scraping?

You can use advancedquery to customize headers, user agents, and proxy settings. This prevents your agent from getting blocked when querying protected target servers using this MCP tool.

Feed real-time web metadata, screenshots, and PDFs directly into your Cursor editor as you write code.

Generate accurate code with live API payloads in Cursor

`extract_metadata` lets your Cursor agent pull real JSON data from target websites while you write code. Instead of guessing API shapes or using stale mock data, your editor gets the exact schema of the target page. This means you build features around live data structures. Your agent writes the parsing logic based on actual Open Graph tags and author arrays returned from the live URL.

Capture visual assets directly inside this Cursor MCP Server

`take_screenshot` captures full-page renders or specific CSS selector targets directly from your editing session. Your Cursor agent uses these images to verify layout changes or inspect visual elements without opening a browser. When you need document generation, `generate_pdf` compiles pages into formatted PDFs. You can configure custom margins and scaling to test print layouts right inside your editor's workspace.

Audit site performance while writing your frontend code

`get_insights` analyzes page load speeds and technology stacks to help you debug performance bottlenecks. Your agent compares your local dev environment results against live production metrics. If you need to run deep scraping operations, `advanced_query` gives you total control over the raw payload parameters. You bypass default API limits by adjusting headers directly from the chat pane.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

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