How to Use the TomTom Parking Availability MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I get live parking spot data for my script using TomTom Parking Availability in Cursor?

You prompt the agent to run searchparkingspots against your desired location. The resulting JSON payload is then injected directly into the function you're writing.

Q: Can I use detailed parking metadata for a record in my project with TomTom Parking Availability and Cursor?

Yes, getparkingdetails returns structured data that maps perfectly to most database models. You can immediately incorporate this into your object definitions.

Q: What should I check first regarding the reliability of TomTom Parking Availability when using Cursor?

Always start with checkapistatus. This confirms connectivity, which is vital before writing any code that relies on external service uptime.

Q: Is it possible to use TomTom Parking Availability for complex geo-queries within Cursor?

Yes. The searchparkingspots tool accepts location parameters necessary for defining the scope of your query, making it great for geo-contextual coding.

Write code powered by real-time parking data using Cursor's Agent Mode.

Inject spots into your code base

Need a function that knows where to find open parking? Use `search_parking_spots` and let the agent fill in the live JSON response directly into your file. You don't get mock data; you get real API results. This saves time because you can write code around actual, current geo-data without leaving Cursor.

Get parking metadata for scripting

`get_parking_details` fetches rich metadata for a specific ID. If you're building an inventory system, this tool provides the exact structure—capacity, rules, etc.—you need to model your objects. It means less time writing stubs and more time coding actual logic.

Check service status during development

Build-time checks are critical. `check_api_status` verifies that the TomTom Parking service is reachable before your agent tries to use it in a function call. It's a quick guardrail: if the API is down, your code fails gracefully instead of throwing a vague network error.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

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