How to Use the TeleSign MCP in Cursor

Q: How does TeleSign integrate with Cursor for coding?

The MCP Server lets the AI agent call tools like checkverification right inside your editor. It streams live results into your code, letting you build logic that reacts to real-world verification outcomes.

Q: What kind of phone data can TeleSign provide via Cursor?

TeleSign gives you the phone type (getphonetype) and a unique ID. You also get risk scores, so your code always has the necessary context to make secure decisions.

Q: Can I check if TeleSign is ready using Cursor?

Yes. Use checktelesignstatus to verify connectivity before running any user-facing tools. This prevents runtime errors in your application and ensures reliable sign-up paths.

Q: Is sending voice verification supported by TeleSign with Cursor?

Yep. You can call sendvoiceverification to implement a secure, automated phone call check into your codebase. This adds a robust layer of identity proofing.

Inject live identity checks into your code using the Cursor MCP Server for real-time development.

Check Phone Status Directly in Code

Don't just guess about phone numbers; verify them. You can use `get_phone_id` to fetch the unique identifier, or check if a number is deactivated with `check_deactivation`. This data feeds directly into your function logic. This capability means you write less boilerplate code because the Cursor agent handles the necessary API calls and failure states automatically.

Dynamic Risk Scoring in Agent Mode

Need to validate a user during sign-up? Call `score_phone` to get an instant risk assessment. The AI can then use that score to decide whether the user needs immediate verification or if they pass through. It’s live data injection: the agent generates working code based on the real output from the MCP Server, not mock stubs.

Automate SMS and Push Verification Flows

The Cursor AI can handle complex verification flows. You can trigger `send_sms` for text codes or use `send_push_verification` to send an alert directly to the user's device. This allows you to write a clean, readable function that executes multiple authentication steps in sequence.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

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