How to Use the Workast MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I query project data using Workast with Cursor?

You let the agent call tools like listspaces or getspace. The real power is that this live API response gets injected into your active code block, letting you use it as if it were a local variable.

Q: What types of team information can I access with Workast and Cursor?

You can retrieve full user profiles via getuser, or check the overall structure using getteaminfo. These details are available to inform your coding decisions.

Q: Can I read tasks in my code using Workast and Cursor?

Absolutely. The agent can call listtasks for a space, giving you the list of task objects. You then use those properties to write conditional logic in your application.

Q: If I need to modify project data using Workast and Cursor, what's the process?

You first get the existing record with gettask, review it, and then use that context to write code that executes an updatetask call.

Inject Workast project data into your code using Cursor's Agent mode.

Perplexity

Write code based on current tasks.

Need to write a script that checks task status? The agent calls `get_task` and injects the live JSON data right into your editor. You're not dealing with stubs here. You can use this response immediately in your function logic, making sure your code reflects real Workast data.

Build team directory lookups.

If your code needs to validate a user ID against the company roster, let the agent call `list_users`. The returned list populates context variables you can reference. Then, use `get_user` for specific details and build out reliable endpoints.

Automate space creation in code.

Start a new project feature by first using the agent to execute `create_space`. The API response—which includes the ID of the new workspace—is immediately available. You can then use that ID in subsequent calls, like calling `create_task` within that new scope.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

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