How to Use the Nuclino MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I configure the Nuclino server in Cursor?

Create a .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root or your global user directory. Add the server under the mcpServers block with your credentials, and the agent will detect the tools instantly.

Q: Can the Cursor agent modify my Nuclino workspace hierarchy?

The agent can create new documents using createitem or update existing ones, but it cannot alter root workspace settings. It uses listworkspaces to make sure it only writes within your permitted scopes.

Q: Does the Nuclino server support Cursor multi-file edits?

Yes, the agent can read multiple pages using getitem and apply those details to generate or modify multiple local code files in a single run.

Q: Can I delete pages from inside the editor?

The deleteitem tool is available, but the agent is programmed to ask for your explicit confirmation before executing any destructive API calls. This prevents accidental deletions of critical files.

Feed live wiki specs into Cursor to generate code

This MCP Server connects your workspace directly to your editor, letting the agent invoke `get_item` to read technical specs while you write code. Instead of copying and pasting API schemas or design requirements, the AI pulls the source markdown directly. When you finish a feature, the agent uses `create_item` to write fresh integration guides or deployment logs back to your team wiki. It keeps your documentation in lockstep with the codebase without requiring you to switch windows.

Locate documents instantly with semantic search

Finding the right technical spec is fast when your editor calls `search_items` to run semantic searches across your team. You don't need to know the exact title of a document to pull its contents. If you need to trace how pages connect, the agent uses `list_collections` to map out directories. It runs `list_items` to verify metadata and ensure you are pulling the latest version of a design doc.

Update team records and view attachments

Keeping your team updated is simple when the agent uses `update_item` to append code changes or release notes to existing wiki pages. It modifies the sync tree instantly so your team sees updates in real time. For pages that contain assets, the agent calls `list_files` to retrieve direct URLs of attachments. It can also run `list_fields` to read or apply structured taxonomy tags to keep your workspace organized.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

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