Generate code with live Newslit news context in Cursor

The `list_stories` tool feeds real-time Newslit media coverage directly into Cursor's Agent mode using our MCP connection. Your Cursor editor uses this live Newslit data to write functions that parse actual press articles instead of relying on outdated mocks. Having actual Newslit news data in Cursor means your code handles edge cases like weird HTML formats or missing author fields. You build stronger Cursor applications because the AI sees the exact structure of current Newslit press feeds.

Manage Newslit reporting pipelines in the Cursor editor

The `create_report` tool lets you build Newslit news tracking structures without leaving your active Cursor workspace. You programmatically define what topics Newslit should watch while the Cursor editor writes the surrounding logic. If a Newslit tracking setup needs a quick change, the `update_report` tool modifies the configuration on the fly in Cursor. You can also run `delete_report` to clear out temporary Newslit test runs from your local Cursor environment.

Inspect active Newslit media monitors in Cursor

The `list_reports` tool gets your current Newslit monitoring configurations directly inside your Cursor terminal or chat window. This lets you debug your Newslit integration by checking which feeds are active in Cursor. When you need the exact details of a specific Newslit monitor, the `get_report` tool pulls the complete metadata schema into Cursor. Your Cursor agent reads this structure to write accurate data transformers for your Newslit dashboard.

Setup guide

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