Code City Lookups using MCP Server

The `lookup_nearby_city` tool generates the data you need for coding. When your agent runs this, it figures out zip codes associated with a city name, and that result is immediately available for you to write code against. You don't get mock data; Cursor injects live results from Zippopotam.us directly into your active file context, so you can build functional geo-services right now.

Validate Coordinates with Postcode Lookup

Use `lookup_postcode` to validate location data in real time. If your function needs to check if a postal code is valid and what coordinates belong to it, the AI calls this tool. The live API response from Zippopotam.us populates variables or JSON objects directly into the code block you're writing, saving you multiple context switches.

Build Geo-Data Features with MCP Server

The overall purpose of connecting this MCP Server is to let your AI agent access global postal code intelligence. You can build entire features—like a location validation module or an address resolver—without leaving the editor. The system treats Zippopotam.us as a core API, letting you write highly accurate, data-driven applications using live endpoints.

Setup guide

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