Perplexity

Inject live data into Cursor

Call `search_games` during your coding session to find real game entries. The AI fills your context window with accurate release info instead of placeholder text. Use `get_game_by_id` to seed your project with actual screenshots and descriptions. Your code stays synced with the real world.

Automate credit and developer lookups

Fetch developer aliases and company history using `get_developers` and `get_companies` inside your agent workflow. You verify contributor names against the database in real-time. Retrieve full team lists for any project with `get_game_credits`. You get the exact department breakdown to use in your application logic.

Validate platform and genre logic

Use `get_platforms` and `get_genres` to build drop-downs or filters that actually match the database. Your UI logic will never break due to outdated categories. Check specific game attributes with `get_attributes` to ensure your app logic handles different game types correctly.

Setup guide

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