How to Use the Mockaroo MCP in Cursor

Q: Can Cursor automatically update my test seed files using Mockaroo?

Yes, you can command your Cursor agent to run generatemockdata and write the output directly into your seed scripts. This keeps your local development database populated with fresh, realistic records.

Q: Does the Mockaroo integration work with Cursor's Composer mode?

Yes, Composer can call generatefromschema to pull down structured datasets and distribute them across multiple files in your workspace in one go.

Q: What is the benefit of listing schemas in Cursor?

Running listschemas lets your agent see your pre-defined Mockaroo configurations. It can then generate matching data without you having to manually define fields in your prompts.

Inject realistic Mockaroo test data directly into your active code files using Cursor agent mode.

Generate mock code files in Cursor

`generate_mock_data` feeds realistic datasets directly into the files you are editing in Cursor. Your agent writes the code and populates the test fixtures simultaneously, using real API responses instead of static stubs. You do not need to switch back and forth between your browser and editor. The MCP Server hooks directly into Cursor's agent loop to insert custom payloads right where your cursor is flashing.

Pull production-like schemas into your workspace

`generate_from_schema` retrieves mock records based on the schemas saved in your Mockaroo account. Your agent reads your local database models, maps them to your online schemas, and fills your test directories. By using the MCP to run `list_schemas` first, the agent knows exactly what templates are available. This prevents schema mismatch bugs before you even run your test suite.

Map database fields using live type lists

`list_field_types` provides a real-time dictionary of Mockaroo's generation capabilities directly to Cursor. Your agent uses this to match your TypeScript interfaces or database migrations to valid mock generators. If you use custom lookup tables, `list_datasets` lets the agent find and reference them. This ensures your generated relational data maintains strict referential integrity.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

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