How to Use the NVIDIA Vision MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I add the NVIDIA Vision MCP Server to Cursor?

Create a .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root. Add the server configuration under the mcpServers key with the endpoint URL provided by Vinkius, and Cursor will automatically register the vision tools.

Q: Can the Cursor agent use NVIDIA Vision to write image processing tests?

Yes. The Cursor agent can call detectobjects to analyze a test image, receive the object list, and write assertions in your test suite based on those real coordinates.

Q: What happens to the screenshots and images I send to the server?

All image data processed by these MCP tools like imagesegmentation is transmitted over an encrypted channel to an isolated, ephemeral runtime. Vinkius enforces a strict zero-trust policy, meaning no visual files or metadata are cached or saved on disk after processing.

Build code in Cursor using real visual analysis and image generation from NVIDIA Vision models.

Generate production-ready code in Cursor

The `list_vision_models` tool queries the NVIDIA API Catalog to return the exact vision models currently available. When you write code in Cursor, your agent calls this MCP tool to inject real model lists straight into your active script. This eliminates the need for hardcoded model endpoints or mock data. You write your application logic using the actual, live API schema returned by the server.

Analyze UI layouts and elements

The `image_segmentation` tool identifies and segments every distinct object within an image. Cursor uses this tool to analyze screenshots of your front-end code, checking if layout elements render in their correct positions. By combining this with `visual_grounding`, your agent writes layout fixes based on actual coordinate data. You get precise code modifications instead of visual guesswork.

Process scanned mockups with MCP Server tools

The `document_qa` tool performs OCR and deep semantic understanding on scanned documents, forms, and receipts. In Cursor, you can pass an image of a paper form directly to your agent. The agent reads the fields, maps the data structure, and writes the corresponding JSON parsers or database schemas for you. It speeds up the transition from physical paper to structured code.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

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