Real-time formulation data in Cursor

Use `get_ingredient` to pull accurate molecular profiles directly into your editor. You get the exact numbers you need without switching windows. Call `search_flavor_matches` to find compatible plant proteins. The agent suggests combinations that work, saving you from trial-and-error in the code.

Cost estimation for NotCo in Cursor

Run `estimate_cost` to see the financial impact of your ingredient choices immediately. It calculates mass production costs based on your current formula. You can adjust your code and re-run the tool to optimize for budget. It turns your IDE into a functional R&D dashboard.

Supply chain verification in Cursor

Use `list_suppliers` to check the availability of specific raw materials. You can see who provides what directly within your project workspace. This keeps your implementation grounded in reality. You avoid designing recipes that your supply chain cannot actually support.

Setup guide

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