How to Use the NetBird MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I configure Cursor to interact with my NetBird networks?

Create an .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root and add the NetBird server configuration with your API token. Once configured, enable Agent mode in Cursor to let this MCP Server query your peers and manage policies.

Q: Can Cursor automatically generate NetBird setup keys for my deployment scripts?

Yes, Cursor can run createsetupkey to generate fresh tokens and insert them directly into your Dockerfiles or Kubernetes manifests. This eliminates the need to manually copy credentials during development.

Q: How do I audit NetBird activity logs from Cursor?

You can ask Cursor to run listauditevents to display recent administrative actions inside your editor. This helps you debug network access issues by seeing exactly who initiated recent policy changes.

Q: Can I manage multi-tenant networks using Cursor?

Yes, you can use createmsptenant and updatemsptenant within Cursor to programmatically manage multiple client environments. The editor can parse your tenant structures and apply updates across all accounts.

Generate secure NetBird network policies and manage active peers directly inside your Cursor editor using this MCP Server.

Perplexity

Inject real NetBird peer data directly into your Cursor code.

The `list_peers` tool lets Cursor fetch your active NetBird WireGuard peer configurations and insert real IP addresses directly into your local configuration files or environment variables. Instead of copying IP addresses from a web dashboard into your code, the Cursor agent pulls live NetBird network data as you write your deployment scripts. By using `get_peer` alongside your Cursor editor's autocomplete, you ensure your connection strings are accurate before you commit. This direct connection lets you build and test NetBird network orchestration code in Cursor using live peer statuses instead of hardcoded placeholders.

Write and test NetBird policies in Cursor Agent mode.

The `create_policy` tool allows the Cursor agent to generate NetBird access policies based on the network architecture you are designing in your workspace. As you write code to define new services, Cursor can automatically configure the corresponding NetBird security rules to allow traffic between your development groups. If your code requires new access groups, Cursor uses `create_group` to spin them up on the fly in your NetBird account. This turns your Cursor editor into an active network controller, where code changes and NetBird security policies are synchronized in a single step using this MCP Server.

Provision temporary development peers using this MCP Server.

The `create_temporary_access_peer` tool lets you register short-lived development nodes in NetBird directly from your Cursor terminal or chat window. This ensures you can run and debug services locally while securely connected to your NetBird overlay network without leaving your Cursor editor. When your debugging session ends, Cursor can call `delete_peer` to clean up the NetBird environment. You can also generate new credentials with `create_setup_key` in Cursor to automate the onboarding of new containerized NetBird services you are coding.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

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