Inject Live Campaign Data into Cursor Code

The `list_ms_campaigns` tool pulls live marketing data directly into your Cursor editor. When you are writing reporting scripts or building custom dashboards, your agent uses this tool to fetch actual campaign structures instead of relying on mock JSON files. This makes writing integration code faster because your Cursor agent can see the exact response format. You can instantly generate TypeScript interfaces or Python models that match the real payload returned by `get_ms_campaign_details`.

Analyze Ad Group Performance in Cursor Agent Mode

The `get_ms_ad_group_details` tool fetches configuration and performance details for any ad group while you write code. Your Cursor agent can analyze these metrics to help you write logic that flags low-performing groups or alerts you to high spend. By combining this with `list_ms_ad_groups`, you can build automated testing scripts that verify your internal database matches your live Microsoft Ads setup. This replaces manual API testing tools and keeps your development loop entirely inside the editor.

Validate Keyword Logic Using Cursor MCP Server

The `list_ms_keywords` tool retrieves active keywords and their match types directly into your Cursor chat. You can write and test keyword filtering algorithms using real data from your active ad groups. This MCP Server lets you verify how your code handles keyword lists without leaving your file. Your agent can run `list_ms_targeting_settings` and `list_ms_ads` to verify that your custom application logic correctly parses targeting rules and ad copy.

Setup guide

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

No. This toolset is strictly read-only and includes tools like `list_ms_targeting_settings` to read configurations. Your Cursor agent cannot write back or alter your live campaign settings.

Timeout issues typically stem from API rate limits or network latency. Ensure your Vinkius endpoint token is configured correctly, and try narrowing down your query using `search_ms_campaigns` instead of listing everything.
