How to Use the Trimble MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I generate a route using Trimble in Cursor?

You let the agent call calculatetruckroute. The resulting polyline, distance, and time data are injected as live variables directly into your current code block. No mock stubs needed.

Q: Can I use Trimble's geocoding tools within Cursor?

Yes. You can call searchtrimbleaddress to pull location data, and then pass those resulting coordinates into another function, like calculatematrixrouting, all in one go.

Q: What kind of setup is required for Trimble in Cursor?

You create a .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root. Add the server details there, and then enable Agent mode in the chat to start using its tools.

Inject live logistics data into your code using Cursor with this MCP Server.

Live Route Calculation in Code

Need to calculate mileage variables right in your script? The `calculate_state_mileage` tool returns a structured breakdown of distances by US state or province. You get the data, and you can code against it immediately.

Programmatic Toll Cost Estimation

Building an API that prices shipping? The `calculate_trip_tolls` tool estimates total toll costs—both cash and electronic fees in USD. This live response goes directly into the function your AI agent generates.

Vehicle-Specific Routing Logic

Developing a system that needs to respect truck dimensions? The `route_by_vehicle_size` tool takes vehicle height (inches) and weight (lbs) as inputs. This ensures the AI code calls for routes compliant with those specific constraints.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

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

Common questions about Trimble MCP in Cursor

You let the agent call `calculate_truck_route`. The resulting polyline, distance, and time data are injected as live variables directly into your current code block. No mock stubs needed.

Yes. You can call `search_trimble_address` to pull location data, and then pass those resulting coordinates into another function, like `calculate_matrix_routing`, all in one go.

You create a `.cursor/mcp.json` file in your project root. Add the server details there, and then enable Agent mode in the chat to start using its tools.

It handles geographical coordinate pairs (lon, lat) when performing routing functions, as well as commercial addresses retrieved by `reverse_geocode`.

Totally. Agent mode is designed to call external tools like this one and use their real API responses to write functional code into your editor.
