How to Use the Mozscape MCP in Cursor

Q: Can Cursor use Mozscape to test my SEO scripts automatically?

Yes. The agent calls tools like fetchsitemetrics to pull real Moz data, then writes and runs tests against those actual API responses instead of writing dummy data.

Q: Why is Cursor failing to call the Mozscape link tools?

You might be hitting rate limits. Ask the agent to run lookupquota to check your available calls, or tell it to implement a delay between listlinkingdomains requests.

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

Yes. You trigger Composer, and it can use v2globaltoppages to pull live internet-wide metrics while generating your application files.

Give Cursor access to Mozscape so your AI can write SEO tools and scrapers using live backlink and domain authority data.

Build SEO workflows inside Cursor

The `v2_url_metrics` tool lets Cursor fetch bulk URL metrics directly while you write code. You ask the agent to build a Python script for analyzing competitors, and it tests the logic by actually pulling live Domain Authority and Page Authority data. It doesn't mock the API response. It hits the endpoint and writes data-parsing functions based on the real JSON it gets back. Your agent checks specific connections on the fly via this MCP Server. It runs `v2_link_status` to verify if a backlink exists before writing the code that processes it. If you need to map out a site's architecture, the AI calls `v2_top_pages` and builds your scraping logic around the highest-value URLs.

Automate link intersection logic

The `fetch_link_intersect` tool finds sites linking to multiple target domains. You tell Cursor to create a link-building dashboard, and the AI uses this MCP tool to populate the initial UI with real prospective domains. It writes the exact React components needed to display the overlapping link profiles because it already sees the data structure. You can filter these results without leaving the editor. The agent calls `filter_links_by_anchor` to grab links matching specific text, then writes the backend routes to handle that exact payload. It pulls historical data using `fetch_histories` and immediately generates the charting components to visualize the metric changes over time.

Track API quotas during development

The `lookup_quota` tool checks your Moz API V3 usage directly in your terminal panel. When you build applications that make heavy API calls, Cursor monitors your remaining limits so you don't burn through your allowance during testing. The agent sees the quota and writes the necessary rate-limiting logic into your application automatically. For the newer endpoints, it runs `v2_usage_data` to get billing period stats. You ask Cursor to implement a caching layer, and it verifies the current API consumption via this MCP connection before deciding how aggressive the cache expiration should be. It builds the exact backoff strategy your specific Moz subscription requires.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

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