How to Use the Tower MCP in Cursor

Q: How can I list projects using Tower and Cursor?

Just call listprojects. The MCP Server returns a clean array of all available projects, which you'll want to loop through in your code. It gives you the scope needed for batch processing.

Q: What if I need to update a task status using Tower and Cursor?

Use updatetask. You pass the required parameters—the task ID, new status, etc.—and the AI generates code that sends this API call. It's direct, live context updating.

Q: Does the MCP Server help with team roles in Tower? (Cursor)

Yes, you can use listmembers to get a list of all team members and their associated details. This is perfect for building authorization checks into your application code.

Q: Can I access document folders via MCP Server with Tower? (Cursor)

You can run listdocfolders. This provides the necessary folder paths and names, allowing you to write scripts that interact with those specific locations in your code.

Inject live Tower project data directly into your code using Cursor.

Perplexity

Calling MCP Server APIs in Your Code

The `get_project` tool gives you all the necessary context—like a specific project's name and ID. You can use this live data to structure your code inputs, making sure your functions are targeting the right place. This eliminates hardcoded IDs and makes your scripts reliable when Tower changes its project names.

List Tasks in a Project Context

Run `list_tasks` to pull task objects directly into your active code file. You'll get structured JSON data for tasks, including their status and due dates. You can then write logic that processes these real-time API responses instead of using mock stubs.

Retrieve Project Metadata from Tower

Using `get_task_details`, you can fetch all metadata about a single task, like the assignee or priority level. This data is ready to be consumed by your functions. It lets you build robust automation scripts that handle real-world project variables.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

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