How to Use the Twist MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I find all available workspaces with Twist and Cursor?

Run listworkspaces() to identify every bounded Twist Workspace. This gives your agent the necessary scope to pull relevant data for your code, so you don't have to manually map out everything.

Q: Can I update a thread title using Twist and Cursor's MCP Server?

Yes, you use updatethread(threadid). This function lets the agent modify either the title or the core content of an existing discussion. It’s great for keeping code comments accurate.

Q: Does this MCP Server help me list all users in a workspace with Twist and Cursor?

You use listworkspaceusers() to get a full roster of every member attached to that specific workspace. This data is useful when determining who needs to be included in your code's scope.

Q: If I need to update a message in a DM with Twist and Cursor, what tool do I use?

You call updatedirectmessage(messageid). This modifies the text of a specific direct message. The live data feed ensures that your code is always referencing the latest information.

Write smarter code that references your team's async discussions with Cursor’s Agent mode.

Reference Team Channels in Code

Need to know which teams are talking? Use `list_channels(workspace_id)` so your agent can inject live context into the code you're writing. It shows all available channels within a specific Twist workspace. If you need to track down discussions, calling `list_threads(channel_id)` gives you every thread in that channel. Your Cursor Agent uses this data as real-time input for your function calls.

Manage Direct Communications

Sending a private message? You use `send_direct_message(conversation_id, content)`. This tool allows the agent to inject live chat context into your coding workflow. It’s perfect for passing quick data points. If that DM needs correcting, you modify it with `update_direct_message(message_id)` before moving on to the next function block.

Create and Edit Discussion Topics

To start a new discussion point for your code logic, use `create_thread(channel_id, title, initial_content)`. This creates an asynchronous thread that can be referenced later in the project context. If the summary of a thread is wrong, you call `update_thread(thread_id)` to fix both the title and content. Your Cursor Agent treats this as live data.

Setup guide

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