How to Use the PDF Munk MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I add the PDF Munk MCP Server to my Cursor project?

Create an mcp.json file inside your project's .cursor directory. Add the server under the mcpServers key with your authentication token, and the tools will load in your Agent chat.

Q: Can Cursor automatically merge multiple PDFs using PDF Munk?

Yes, the Cursor agent can call mergepdfs to combine files in your workspace. You just tell the agent which files in your directory to merge, and it handles the rest.

Q: How do I inspect a template structure using the PDF Munk MCP Server in Cursor?

Ask the Cursor agent to run gettemplate with your template ID. The tool returns the template schema directly into your chat, allowing the agent to write matching code.

Q: Can I capture screenshots of my local dev server using this tool?

You can use generatescreenshot to capture images of your pages. If your dev server is exposed or you use a public URL, the tool will render and return the screenshot file.

Generate PDFs and images from templates directly within your Cursor editor using real-time API tools.

Build PDFs From Code with Cursor MCP Server

The `generate_pdf_from_html` tool converts your active code files into formatted documents without leaving the Cursor editor. You write the HTML, and the Cursor agent calls the tool to render the output file in your project directory. This integration eliminates the gap between writing code and testing document output. You can edit your CSS, run the tool, and inspect the resulting PDF immediately inside your workspace.

Manage PDF Munk Templates Directly in Cursor

The `list_templates` tool retrieves your remote layouts so your Cursor agent knows exactly what variables to inject. Use `get_template` to pull down details and write precise JSON payloads that match your design schemas. The agent uses these schemas to write clean generation scripts. You get working code that calls `generate_pdf_from_template` via the MCP Server with real, typed parameters instead of placeholder guesses.

Compress and Watermark PDFs Programmatically

The `compress_pdf` tool reduces file sizes directly from your Cursor terminal or agent chat. When you need to protect your output, `add_watermark` applies text or image overlays to the generated files. This makes it easy to build automated build pipelines. Your Cursor agent can write a script that generates a document, compresses it, watermarks it, and saves it to your distribution folder.

Setup guide

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