How to Use the Zesty.io MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I get Zesty.io data into my code using Cursor?

Your agent uses tools like getcontentitem and listcontentitems. The live API response is injected directly as a variable or argument in the code you're writing, making it instantly usable.

Q: Can Cursor list all available content models for Zesty.io?

Yes. Running listcontentmodels provides an array of model definitions that your code can iterate over. This is crucial for building dynamic code generation.

Q: If I need to modify a record in Zesty.io, what functions should I use?

Use updatecontentitem if the item already exists and you just need to change some fields. If it's brand new data, call createcontentitem instead.

Q: Does Zesty.io support listing all associated accounts in Cursor?

The listzestyinstances tool allows your agent to query and list every connected Zesty.io instance, preventing hardcoding of account IDs into your project.

Write code that talks to Zesty.io live. Cursor integrates the Zesty.io MCP Server into your workflow.

Build Code Around Content Models

Start by calling `list_content_models` to identify model IDs in your codebase. This ensures you're using the correct schema for any new data structures. Your agent can then use this knowledge when generating function signatures that expect specific content types.

Write Live Data Handlers

The `get_content_item` tool lets your code fetch real-world records, not stubs. You write the logic to accept and process data returned from this call. If you need multiple items, use `list_content_items`, which provides an array of objects that can feed directly into a function.

Manage Instance Configuration Code

The server exposes tools to handle instance setup. You can write code calling `get_instance_settings` to pull the current configuration parameters. If you need to change something, your agent uses `update_content_item` or even `create_content_item`, writing clean API calls that run live.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

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