How to Use the Vapi MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I set up Vapi in Cursor?

You need to create or edit the .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root, adding the server details there. Then, make sure Agent mode is enabled in the chat.

Q: How do I ensure Vapi works with Cursor's agent mode?

Ensure the server is correctly configured in .cursor/mcp.json and that Agent Mode is active. This lets the AI client call tools autonomously as it writes code.

Use Vapi tools to inject live call context and AI data right into your code in Cursor.

Generate Call Links

When you need a temporary voice link for testing, the `create_web_call` tool gets that configuration immediately. This lets you drop live endpoints directly into your code base without leaving Cursor.

Manage Assistants and Tools

The agent can list everything available to Vapi assistants using `list_agent_tools`. You can also manage the core personas, calling `create_assistant` to define a new voice AI assistant with specific models.

List All Communications

To understand what's happening in production, you can list recent and active calls using `list_calls`. You also get full visibility into connected resources by running `list_phone_numbers`.

Setup guide

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

Common questions about Vapi MCP in Cursor

You need to create or edit the `.cursor/mcp.json` file in your project root, adding the server details there. Then, make sure Agent mode is enabled in the chat.

Yes. The agent generates working code that uses real API responses from tools like `create_phone_call`, not just mock data. This keeps your live context intact while coding.

The primary data types are call records, transcripts, and phone number IDs. The agent will process this structured communication data when writing code.

Using it is way cleaner. Instead of manually calling endpoints, you just tell your AI client to call `get_call_details`, and the data gets injected directly into your workflow.

Ensure the server is correctly configured in `.cursor/mcp.json` and that Agent Mode is active. This lets the AI client call tools autonomously as it writes code.
