How to Use the Turso MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I get connection details for Turso in Cursor?

Run getdatabasedetails. This tool gives you the specific architectural traits of an instance, which is exactly what your code needs to establish a working connection.

Q: Does Cursor help manage multiple Turso databases effectively?

Yes. You can use listdatabases to get a full count and list of all available libSQL Edge Databases, ensuring the generated code targets the correct resource.

Q: What if I need to check physical data locations for Turso in Cursor?

Use listedgelocations. This lists global Fly.io datacenter mappings, letting you write location-aware code that supports your deployment strategy.

Q: If I need a new Turso environment, how do I check prerequisites in Cursor?

First, list all organizations using listorganizations. This confirms your tenant structure before you attempt to call createdatabase and provision the required resources.

Discovering Edge Locations with Cursor

When starting a new feature, use `list_edge_locations` to look up physical global Fly.io datacenter mappings (Locations). Knowing the location is key before writing connection code. Another useful call is `get_database_details`. This tool introspects specific architectural traits of one target libSQL instance, giving you parameters needed for your code.

Setting up Live Database Context in Cursor

To get live data into your code, use `create_database_token` to mint a secure connection Token tied strictly to the specific DB. This token is what your agent mode needs. Retrieving context is simple: call `list_databases` to enumerate all available libSQL Edge Databases so you can hardcode or pass the right reference into your script.

Managing Database Lifecycle in Cursor

`create_database` allows the AI agent to provision a new massively distributed Serverless SQLite database, letting you write code against a predictable environment. You can also use `list_organizations` to identify your root tenants. Finally, if you need to clean up dependencies, calling `delete_database` permanently removes a global libSQL database.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

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