Can it delete documents from my search engines?

Yes. The `st.delete_documents` tool removes specific documents by ID from an engine. Each deletion requires explicit document IDs, so nothing is removed accidentally.

Does it support search analytics like CTR?

Yes. Use `st.analytics_top_searches` and `st.analytics_top_clicks` to retrieve real usage data — top queries, click-through rates, and conversion metrics.

What Swiftype plan is required?

Any plan that includes Site Search API access. You need a valid API key from your Swiftype dashboard — the integration uses standard REST endpoints available to all API-enabled accounts.

About Swiftype MCP Server

Empower your conversational AI with robust enterprise search capabilities by securely integrating the Swiftype (Elastic) MCP connector. Stop navigating web dashbaords to manage indexing logic; allow your LLM to act as a direct data architect interacting with your core Swiftype endpoints natively. With full support for reading, creating, and deleting JSON documents on the fly, inspecting live search engine queries, and querying direct analytical metrics like top clicks—this connector brings headless search administration straight to your preferred prompt environment.

Cursor's Agent mode turns Swiftype into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Swiftype 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

Headless Search & Suggestions — Execute strict queries interrogating custom content engines running st.post_search and provide predictive autocompletes processing st.post_suggest.
CRUD Document Indexing — Pull exact active records from isolated data maps using st.list_documents, inject new payload structures in bulk operating st.create_documents, or vaporize explicit keys commanding st.delete_documents.
Architectural Discovery — Browse registered core scopes applying st.list_engines and parse schema blueprints identifying object hierarchies with st.list_doc_types.
Search Analytics & CTR — Uncover real-world operational user conversion intent evaluating actual volume via st.analytics_top_searches and calculating active hit paths invoking st.analytics_top_clicks.

The Swiftype 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.

Why Use Cursor with the Swiftype MCP Server

Cursor AI Code Editor provides unique advantages when paired with Swiftype through the Model Context Protocol.

Agent mode turns Cursor into an autonomous coding assistant that can read files, run commands, and call MCP tools without switching context

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

Swiftype + Cursor Use Cases

Practical scenarios where Cursor combined with the Swiftype 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

Swiftype + Cursor FAQ

Common questions about integrating Swiftype 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.
