How to Use the Ninehire MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I add the Ninehire MCP server to Cursor?

Create an mcp.json file in your project root directory. Add the Ninehire server configuration inside the mcpServers object. Toggle Agent mode on in your chat panel to start querying.

Q: Can Cursor register a Ninehire applicant automatically?

The agent can execute registernewapplicant if you provide the required name and email. It will also write the exact fetch request for your app to do the same. Testing intake forms is incredibly fast this way.

Q: How do I filter candidates?

Ask your agent to call listjobapplicants and specify the parameters you need. It returns the exact JSON structure. You can then tell the AI to write a sorting function based on that specific payload.

Cursor MCP Server for Live Hiring Data

The Ninehire MCP server injects real recruitment data directly into your codebase using `list_job_postings`. Cursor can call this endpoint while you write a careers page component. Your agent generates working UI code using actual job titles and employment types from your database. Building internal HR tools usually requires mocking up fake data. Now you can fetch real feedback using `list_candidate_evaluations` and `get_applicant_profile` right inside the editor. The AI writes the frontend logic based on exact API responses.

Mapping Teams and Locations

Connecting your corporate structure to custom software gets easier when your MCP server queries `list_organization_departments`. Agent mode pulls these alongside `list_hiring_teams` to populate your dropdown menus automatically. You never have to hardcode another department list. Geographic routing works the exact same way. Cursor pulls active regions via `list_job_locations` and binds them to your application state. Writing location-based filtering logic takes minutes instead of hours.

Webhook Integration Code

Setting up event listeners requires knowing exactly what the server sends via `list_configured_webhooks`. Your agent inspects active triggers in your account and writes the exact Node.js or Python handlers needed to process those payloads. You skip the documentation hunting entirely. Testing those connections happens without leaving the IDE. You can verify the core endpoint with `check_api_health` while debugging your listener. Fixing a broken recruitment alert becomes a fluid coding session with this MCP tool.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

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