Inject Moodle data into Cursor files

Use `get_users` or `get_enrolled_users` to pull real student info directly into your coding workspace. Your agent writes code based on actual API payloads, eliminating the need for hardcoded test data.

Automate Moodle tasks with an MCP Server

Call `get_course_quizzes` or `get_course_workshops` within Agent mode to build automated reporting tools. It builds the logic for you, allowing you to iterate on your scripts faster than manually checking the LMS.

Sync Moodle assignments in Cursor

Keep your project files aligned with `get_course_assignments` to track changes in real-time. You get an accurate picture of the curriculum without leaving your editor window.

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.

.cursor/mcp.json

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

Common questions about Moodle MCP in Cursor

Create a .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root. Define the server command or URL there, and then enable Agent mode to start using the tools.

Yes. With Agent mode enabled, Cursor can execute tools like `send_message` or `get_course_completion` to perform actions based on the code you are currently writing.

Absolutely. By placing the configuration in your project root, every developer working on the codebase gets access to the same tools and data sources.

Yes, they are. Since your agent can trigger multiple calls to `get_course_grades` rapidly, keep an eye on your instance performance during peak usage.

The server acts as a pass-through for your API requests. It does not cache your students' names or grades on any external system, ensuring your institutional data remains under your control.
