How to Use the UK Legislation MCP in Cursor

Q: Does this tool help me handle specific sections of UK Legislation when coding in Cursor?

Yes. The getsection tool lets you retrieve exact legal text. You can then use that output to write code that accurately reflects the requirement, treating the law as a real API response.

Inject live UK legislation data directly into your code using Cursor's Agent mode.

Perplexity

Reference specific laws in your coding logic.

Writing compliance checks? Use `get_section` to pull the exact text of a required legal section and inject it right into your function. The AI generates working code using real API responses, so you don't rely on mock data. This makes validating against specific UK Legislation straightforward, giving you reliable context without leaving Cursor.

Check for relevant acts before committing code.

Before writing a feature, run `search_legislation` to see what acts apply. This tells you if your current implementation plan conflicts with any existing statutes. The agent calls the tool and passes that live context into your file. This real-world data flow means your generated code is immediately informed by UK law.

Build structures based on legislative history.

Need to know the full scope of a rule? Use `get_table_of_contents` or check out what was recently published with `get_recent_legislation`. You can feed this structural data into your code comments or logic. It's about using UK legislation as live context for development, not just reading it.

Setup guide

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