Generate functional code using this MCP Server

The `generate_code` tool writes functional blocks of code directly inside your Cursor editor. Your agent calls this tool to insert code snippets right where your cursor is flashing. This cuts out the need to copy and paste from an external browser window. You get immediate, context-aware code blocks that match the style of your active file.

Explain complex files in Cursor with Mistral AI

The `explain_code` tool deciphers complex logic blocks within your Cursor workspace. When your agent encounters unfamiliar syntax, it queries this tool to explain the execution flow. You get a clear breakdown of how the functions interact. This helps you refactor legacy files without breaking existing dependencies in your codebase.

Extract JSON entities inside Cursor

The `extract_entities` tool converts unformatted text files into clean JSON objects inside Cursor. Your agent uses this to parse logs, API payloads, or raw markdown documentation. This structure makes it simple to feed clean inputs to other development tools. You avoid writing custom regex patterns just to grab a few variables from a file.

Setup guide

Set up Mistral AI 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 Mistral AI 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.

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