How to Use the Uber MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I include Uber trip history data when writing code using Cursor?

Use the gettriphistory tool to fetch structured JSON containing the date, start/end locations, product used, distance, and price. You can then pipe this directly into your codebase for analysis.

Q: When working on an Uber payment module in Cursor, what does getuserprofile return?

getuserprofile confirms the authentication status and provides details about which Uber account is currently connected. This is critical for ensuring your code writes to the correct user context.

Q: If I'm building a fare calculator, how does Cursor help with Uber pricing?

You use getpriceestimate or getrideestimate. These tools return local currency prices for specific routes and product types. The data you get can be immediately used in your calculation logic.

Q: Is the Uber MCP Server reliable for time estimates when coding with Cursor?

Yes, gettimeestimate provides a clear metric of pickup speed. It returns estimated times, so you can build alerts or conditional logic based on whether the wait time exceeds a certain threshold.

Write code that manages Uber rides, estimate prices, and track history directly in Cursor's AI agent mode.

Perplexity

Autocomplete addresses for coding context.

When you need a location variable defined, call `get_place_autocomplete`. You pass your current user location to bias the results. This function returns structured address components and descriptions that you can immediately inject into your code. Don't worry about hardcoding coordinates; use this tool first. It ensures the locations you write API calls for are valid pickup/dropoff points.

Get detailed ride costing metrics.

`get_ride_estimate` gives precise pricing because it focuses on a single, specific product type (like 'Comfort' or 'XL'). This level of detail is better than a general estimate. For comparing costs across multiple options, you can run `get_price_estimate`. You’ll get the cost comparison data needed to write logic that selects the cheapest viable option.

Manage and reference saved locations.

`get_saved_places` pulls a list of all aliases, addresses, and coordinates you've previously stored. This is perfect for writing functions that assume predefined destinations like 'Work' or 'Home'. If you need to add a new spot for future use in your application logic, `add_saved_place` lets you save it with an alias, latitude, and longitude.

Setup guide

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

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