Trigger events directly from Cursor

Let the agent handle your notification logic while you write code. You can call `trigger_event` to verify your workflow logic against real API responses. This removes the need for manual testing scripts. You get immediate feedback on your event structure.

Manage topics inside Cursor

Organize your notification routing by calling `create_topic` or `create_topic_subscriptions` within your editor. It keeps your architectural documentation and code in sync. You can query existing topics with `get_topic` to ensure your code matches the production state.

Debug messaging flows in Cursor

List and audit your notification history by using `list_messages`. It's a quick way to see why a specific alert failed to send. If you need to clean up, simply run `delete_messages_by_transaction` to clear your test logs.

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 Novu 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.
