Perplexity

Write scripts that search Tumblr content with Cursor

Use `list_tagged_posts` inside Agent mode to generate code that finds posts matching a tag. Instead of mock data, the AI writes working functions using real API responses. This means you're not just writing boilerplate; you're building context-aware tools right in your editor.

Process full Tumblr feeds within Cursor

To build a feed summary, let the AI call `list_blog_posts`. It will then write the code necessary to iterate over that list and format it for display or parsing. This saves you time by handling the data ingestion loop automatically.

Get specific Tumblr post details using Cursor

If you need to build a single-post viewer, use `get_post` to fetch all the metadata and content for one piece. You can pair this with `get_blog_avatar` to display the source's image. The resulting code snippet will be ready to run, using actual Tumblr data.

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".

Add the Tumblr 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.
