How to Use the Nifty MCP in Cursor

Q: Can I use Nifty tools in Cursor projects?

Absolutely. Add the server to your .cursor/mcp.json file. This lets you access your project boards from any file in your repository.

Q: What if Nifty is down in Cursor?

Check your connection with getapistatus. If the service is unreachable, the tools will report the error so you know to try again later.

Write code with context. Let Cursor pull live Nifty data into your editor to build features based on real project requirements.

Perplexity

Bring Nifty context into Cursor

Stop guessing requirements while coding. Your agent uses `get_project_details` and `list_workflow_tasks` to read your actual board data before writing a single line of code. This keeps your implementation grounded in reality. You get accurate context because the AI interacts with your live workspace instead of relying on stale documentation.

Update tasks without leaving Cursor

Finish your work and close the loop immediately. Once your code is pushed, use `mark_task_as_complete` to update your board status without switching windows. Keep your metadata current by using `update_task_metadata` as you iterate. It saves time and keeps the rest of the team updated on your progress.

Search and track with Cursor

Need to find a specific requirement? Use `search_all_tasks` to find relevant tickets directly in your editor's chat window. Track your milestones by calling `list_project_milestones`. It gives you a clear view of your deadlines so you can prioritize your coding tasks effectively.

Setup guide

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