Context-aware network auditing in Cursor

Run `nmap_scan` while you code to verify your server ports are open as expected. You no longer need to rely on static documentation or mock data when you can get the truth from the wire. Your agent uses these outputs to suggest configuration changes or firewall rules. It reads the `nmap_scan` report and applies the fix to your files in real-time.

Rapid DNS and Whois lookups in Cursor

Invoke `dns_lookup` or `whois_lookup` to check domain registration and record status while writing your deployment scripts. The data is available as context for the agent to reference immediately. Stop context switching between your terminal and the editor. Everything you need to verify your infrastructure is now a tool call away.

Trace your production traffic in Cursor

Use `traceroute` to diagnose connectivity issues directly from your project environment. The AI agent analyzes the hop delays and helps you pinpoint misconfigured routes in your stack. Couple this with `get_http_headers` to inspect production responses. You'll see exactly what your services are returning without leaving your IDE.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

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

Common questions about Nmap Online MCP in Cursor

Yes. Add the server definition to your .cursor/mcp.json file. This keeps your network tools scoped to the project, ensuring your agents have the right permissions for the current codebase.

It removes the gap between discovery and implementation. The agent can run an `nmap_scan`, read the results, and update your Infrastructure-as-Code files without you ever manualy copying a port list.

You can share the mcp.json file in your repository. This ensures every developer on your team has access to the same network tools when they open the project.

Your queries are ephemeral and handled by the agent session. We do not store your network targets or scan history on our servers, keeping your reconnaissance private.

We enforce authentication at the endpoint level. Every request is signed with your token, ensuring that only your authorized Cursor agent can trigger network probes.
