Can the AI find out if a specific property is inside a flood zone?

Yes. First the AI uses `geocode_address` to find the exact Latitude/Longitude of the building's rooftop. Then it feeds those coordinates into `enrich_flood_risk` to extract the strict FEMA designation naturally.

How accurately does verify_address standardize locations?

Very accurately. It connects to native postal services (like USPS and Royal Mail) to autocorrect misspellings, adjust zip codes, and flag impossible addresses before they reach your logistics layer.

Do I need two separate keys to use this?

Yes. Precisely Developer APIs use robust OAuth workflows. You must supply both the individual API Key (Consumer Key) and the API Secret. The MCP server handles token exchanging for you internally.

About Precisely MCP Server

Fuse the Precisely geospatial intelligence network directly into your AI workflows, enabling your agents to accurately pinpoint addresses globally, extract demographics, and evaluate location-based risks with unparalleled precision.

Cursor's Agent mode turns Precisely into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Precisely and it fetches, processes, and writes — all in a single agentic loop. 10 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.

What you can do

Geocoding & Autocompletion — Supply partial strings and tell the AI to resolve absolute Coordinates globally (geocode_address, autocomplete_address)
Risk Assessment — Submit coordinates to instantly read FEMA flood zones or comparative crime metrics for that property (enrich_flood_risk, enrich_crime_risk)
Tax Boundaries — Ask the AI to parse the exact Local Sales Tax jurisdiction applying strictly to that rooftop coordinate (get_local_tax)
Deep Enrichment — Convert standard US Addresses into comprehensive property records including square footage and household socioeconomic segments

The Precisely MCP Server exposes 10 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Cursor in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

Cursor's Composer feature can generate entire files using real-time data fetched through MCP — no copy-pasting from external dashboards

MCP tools appear alongside built-in tools like file reading and terminal access, creating a unified agentic environment

VS Code extension compatibility means your existing workflow, keybindings, and extensions all work alongside MCP tools

Precisely + Cursor Use Cases

Practical scenarios where Cursor combined with the Precisely MCP Server delivers measurable value.

Code generation with live data: ask Cursor to generate a security report module using live DNS and subdomain data fetched through MCP

Automated documentation: have Cursor query your API's tool schemas and generate TypeScript interfaces or OpenAPI specs automatically

Infrastructure-as-code: Cursor can fetch domain configurations and generate corresponding Terraform or CloudFormation templates

Test scaffolding: ask Cursor to pull real API responses via MCP and generate unit test fixtures from actual data

Precisely MCP Tools for Cursor (10)

These 10 tools become available when you connect Precisely to Cursor via MCP:

autocomplete_address

Returns up to 10 candidate addresses ranked by relevance. Designed for keystroke-by-keystroke usage in address input forms. Provide real-time address suggestions as users type using the Precisely Typeahead Autocomplete API, drawing from a comprehensive global address database to accelerate form completion and reduce entry errors

enrich_crime_risk

Returns crime indices normalized to a national average of 100 — values above 100 indicate higher-than-average risk. Assess the crime risk index for a specific location using the Precisely Risks API, returning normalized risk scores across categories like burglary, assault, vehicle theft, and overall crime relative to national averages

enrich_demographics

Returns rich socio-economic profiles for the census block or postal zone containing the coordinates. Retrieve detailed demographic segmentation data for a geographic coordinate using the Precisely Demographics API, including household income brackets, population density, education levels, age distribution, and consumer spending patterns

enrich_flood_risk

Returns flood zone classification (A, AE, X, V), base flood elevation, and risk index. Primarily covers US territories with FEMA data. Evaluate flood risk exposure for a specific location using the Precisely Environmental Risks API, returning FEMA flood zone designations, proximity to water bodies, elevation data, and flood risk scores

geocode_address

precisely.com. The API returns a ranked list of candidates with latitude, longitude, precision code, and match confidence. Always pass the most complete address string available to maximize match quality. The response includes PrecisionCode indicating match depth (S8 = rooftop, S5 = street-level). Forward-geocode a full or partial address string into geographic coordinates using the Precisely Geocoding API v1, which resolves against a world-class global address reference database covering 250+ countries and territories

get_local_tax

Returns the combined tax rate and individual components (state, county, city, special district). Determine the applicable sales tax rate and tax jurisdiction for a geographic location using the Precisely Local Tax API, resolving complex overlapping US tax jurisdictions down to the rooftop level

get_property_info

Returns a rich property record sourced from county assessor databases. Coverage is US-only. Retrieve comprehensive property attribute data for a US address using the Precisely Property API v2, including lot size, building square footage, year built, number of bedrooms/bathrooms, assessed value, and ownership information

get_timezone

Returns the IANA timezone identifier (e.g. America/New_York), current UTC offset, and DST status. Resolve the timezone and current UTC offset for any geographic coordinate using the Precisely Timezone API, accounting for daylight saving time transitions and political boundary changes

reverse_geocode

Note the parameter order: x = longitude, y = latitude. Returns the closest matching address with full components (street, city, state, postal code, country). Convert geographic coordinates (latitude/longitude) back into a structured postal address using the Precisely Reverse Geocoding API, resolving the nearest rooftop-level address from the global reference database

verify_address

Returns a verified, standardized address with a verification status indicating if the address is deliverable, if components were corrected, or if the address is invalid. Validate and standardize a postal address against authoritative reference datasets using the Precisely Address Verification API, returning USPS/Royal Mail/local postal authority standardized formatting and deliverability status

Example Prompts for Precisely in Cursor

Ready-to-use prompts you can give your Cursor agent to start working with Precisely immediately.

"What is the exact sales tax for an e-commerce order delivered to '1 Market St, San Francisco, CA'?"

"Check the crime risk around the latitude 40.7128 and longitude -74.0060 relative to the national average."

"Can you verify if '350 5th Ave New York 10118' is a real deliverable address? If yes, give me its timezone."

Precisely + Cursor FAQ

Common questions about integrating Precisely MCP Server with Cursor.

What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?

Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.

Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?

Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.

Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?

No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design — tool calls require user visibility and approval.

How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?

Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
