Build features using live Moodle data

Stop guessing what your API responses look like. Use `get_course_contents` and `list_assignments` to pull actual data into your editor while you write your code. Your agent now works with real records. This prevents the common bugs that come from using hardcoded stubs or fake documentation examples.

Manage enrollment programmatically

Write scripts that call `enrol_users` to handle student onboarding as part of your development workflow. It lets you test complex enrollment logic against a live instance. This is about speed and accuracy. You get immediate feedback on your code because the MCP Server performs the actual operation against your target environment.

Query site info within your editor

Use `get_site_info` to verify your environment configuration without switching windows. It pulls the current state of your platform directly into Cursor. This keeps your focus on the logic. You get the data you need to confirm your code is pointing at the right instance before you deploy.

Setup guide

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

Common questions about Moodle MCP in Cursor

Create a .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root. Define the server path and arguments, then enable Agent mode in your chat to start using the tools.

These tools are executed on demand. They only run when you explicitly ask the agent to fetch data, so your editor performance remains unaffected.

You can script multiple calls to the provided tools to handle batch tasks. The agent handles the sequence of operations you define in your request.

You provide your endpoint token in the configuration file. The MCP Server uses this to authorize your requests to the Moodle API endpoints.

The server uses encrypted transport for all requests. Access is restricted to your local editor session and no PII is cached or stored by the agent.
