Verify dependency metadata as you write code in Cursor

The `get_package` tool retrieves full package manifests, including dependencies and version lists. Your Cursor agent uses this to write import statements that match valid releases. No more guessing whether a package supports your current runtime. The MCP Server lets your agent check the metadata and write working code on the first try.

Pin exact versions with this MCP Server

The `get_package_version` tool queries the exact integrity hash and tarball URL for a specific release. This lets your Cursor agent verify that your lockfile matches the registry state. You can ask the agent to write configuration files using the exact version data it pulls. It eliminates the trial-and-error loop of manual package installation.

Discover libraries without leaving your editor

The `search_packages` tool filters the registry using specific qualifiers like maintainers or keywords. Your agent can suggest alternatives to bloated packages directly in the Cursor sidebar. This makes refactoring faster. You get a list of active, maintained packages that solve your specific problem right when you need them.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

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