Perplexity

Check store health and profile data.

Need to validate a service call? The `check_zid_status` tool lets you confirm API status right before writing integration code. You can also grab the shop's current info using `get_zid_shop_profile` for context. When the AI calls these tools, it injects real data responses directly into your active file, so your generated code uses live variables.

Work with customer and order records.

If you're building a reporting script, start by listing users using `list_zid_customers`. For specific transaction data, call `get_zid_order` or `list_zid_orders`. These tools feed real-time e-commerce results into your editor. It’s ideal for generating functions that process actual customer and order payloads.

List products and manage inventory data.

Building a product catalog script? Start with `list_zid_products` to get the full dataset. You can also check stock levels instantly using `list_zid_inventories`. Getting single item details requires calling `get_zid_product`. Your agent mode uses these tools to give you live, non-mock data context while you're typing.

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 Zid 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.
