Perplexity

Code against live tunnel endpoints

Stop hardcoding URLs and let your agent use `list_endpoints` to grab your actual tunnel addresses. Your code stays synced with your infrastructure automatically. It brings real-time data into your editor so your generated code actually works. You'll spend less time debugging configuration and more time on logic.

Implement context-aware security

Use `list_ip_policies` to inform the code your agent writes. Your agent understands your network restrictions and generates code that respects your infrastructure rules. It prevents you from accidentally coding a service that ignores your firewall settings. You get safer code that aligns with your active ingress policies.

Verify your environment with code

Query your `list_vaults` and `list_reserved_domains` to ensure your local environment matches your production setup. This MCP Server makes your infrastructure state available for your agent to analyze. It turns your infrastructure into a data source for your development process. You can trust the information because it comes straight from your live account.

Setup guide

Set up ngrok 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 ngrok 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.
