Perplexity

Calculate Lengths with the MCP Server.

The `convert_length` tool converts units like meters to miles. You write a function that needs distance in feet, but you only have it in kilometers; simply call the tool and inject the converted value directly into your code. It handles both metric and imperial standards (like 'mi' and 'km'). This means your generated code always uses contextually correct unit values.

Process Weight Data.

`convert_weight` converts between standard weight units. If you’re building a physics simulation, you might need to convert pounds to grams for a specific calculation. You run the tool and get the result ready to assign as a variable. It gives you accurate values across metric (kg, g) and imperial (lb, oz) standards in your live coding session.

Manage Temperature Variables.

The `convert_temperature` tool handles the necessary conversion between C, F, and K. If a user story requires you to calculate heat transfer at different scales, this is what you use. It ensures that when your AI client generates code using temperature values, they are always in the correct system for the context.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

Common questions about Universal Unit Converter MCP in Cursor

You add the server configuration to your project's `.cursor/mcp.json` file, or you enable it via Agent mode in chat. Once configured, the AI client knows how to call its tools and inject real data into your writing.

Yep. It handles lengths (ft, yd), weights (kg, lb), temperatures (C, F), and digital storage sizes. Just define the units you need, and it converts them.

The agent mode is built for this. You can prompt the AI to perform multi-step conversions—like converting storage size *and* then using that value in a length calculation. It handles the flow.

This server touches measurements and conversions (length, weight, temperature, digital storage). Because it only deals with physical units, no personal identifying information is accessed or stored.

Absolutely. You can use the tool to validate data formats within your scripts, ensuring that any unit passed into a calculation—say, memory size—is correctly represented before deployment.
