How to Use the zipBoard MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I use zipBoard with Cursor for development tasks?

You let the agent run tools like listtasks or getorganization. The unique power is that these live API responses get written directly into your code, making it accurate.

Q: Can I create a new board using zipBoard and Cursor?

Yeah. Just tell the AI client to run createproject with the necessary JSON payload. It handles setting up that initial project structure for you.

Q: What data does zipBoard allow me to fetch in Cursor?

The MCP Server lets your code pull organization details (getorganization), list files (listfiles), and see all available projects using listprojects.

Q: Is it useful for checking team status with zipBoard and Cursor?

It is. You can check task lists (listtasks) or get organization details to ensure your code reflects the current state of the work before committing anything.

Q: If I need org info, what specific data type does zipBoard touch with Cursor?

The server touches organizational details when you run getorganization. This provides context about the team structure and ownership that your code can reference.

Write code that uses live feedback from zipBoard, right inside Cursor's agent mode.

Injecting project data with MCP Server

When you write code in Cursor, your AI client can call `list_projects` to get live board context. This means the API response gets injected directly into your file, not just mocked up. You'll also need to use `list_tasks` when writing logic that needs to account for existing issues or bugs.

Creating and managing resources in Cursor

Starting a new feature? Use the agent to call `create_project`, passing structured JSON data right into your code. This simulates the setup phase perfectly. Need to document an issue? Let the AI run `create_task` so you don't have to switch context just to write down a bug report.

Retrieving organization details in Cursor

The agent can grab organizational data using `get_organization`. This lets your code make assumptions about the user base or team structure based on real-time API calls. This capability, combined with listing files via `list_files`, makes writing context-aware code way easier.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

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