How to Use the ZeroTier MCP in Cursor
Use your agent in Cursor to generate code that interacts with virtual networks instantly.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect ZeroTier MCP to Cursor
Create your Vinkius account to connect ZeroTier to Cursor and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Check Local Node Status
To know what's going on, you run `get_local_status` to pull the real-time state of your ZeroTier node. This gives you critical data points about network connectivity and local peers. You can also use `list_local_peers` when you need a quick list of every known device attached to your machine.
Programmatically Join or Leave Networks
The agent handles dynamic connection changes. Use `join_local_network` to programmatically connect the code context to a specific ZeroTier network. When the code block needs to be isolated, running `leave_local_network` disconnects your node cleanly.
Manage Member Authorization via MCP Server
Need to write code that assumes a member is authorized? You can use `update_controller_network_member`. This lets the AI agent configure or authorize members directly into your project's context. This ability, exposed through the MCP Server, makes network state part of your live coding workflow.
