How to Use the Netlify Alternative MCP in Cursor
Write code that talks to your infra. Cursor connects to this MCP Server to pull live site and deploy data right into your editor.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Netlify Alternative MCP to Cursor
Create your Vinkius account to connect Netlify Alternative to Cursor and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Deploy management for Cursor agents
Your agent can now see your infrastructure state. Use `list_sites` and `get_site_details` to provide the AI with the exact context it needs to debug your deployment. Stop relying on stale documentation. The AI gets fresh responses from `list_deploys` to verify if your latest code actually went live.
Automate build triggers in your editor
Don't leave your IDE to start a deployment. Trigger a fresh build with `trigger_site_build` while you are still working on your feature branch. Use `list_build_hooks` to audit your CI/CD configuration. The AI can suggest changes based on the actual hooks currently registered to your site.
Read environment variables and form data
Fetch your current environment configuration using `list_env_vars` to debug missing keys in your code. The AI can compare these against your local `.env` files. Pull real user form submissions with `list_form_submissions` to test your frontend logic. It provides the exact data structure your site expects.
