Read Live Records from Zoho Creator

The `get_record_details` tool pulls specific records by ID, injecting the actual JSON response directly into your current file. Similarly, you can fetch multiple results using `get_report_records`. This live context means your generated code works immediately.

Inspect Zoho Creator App Schema

Need to know what fields are available? Run `get_form_fields` to get the definitions for a specific form. You can also use `list_app_reports` to see which reports exist, giving you structure context for your code.

Write and Update Data Contextually

When you're coding an update function, the AI calls `update_record` with live data retrieved from Zoho Creator. You can also create new entries using `add_record`, ensuring your code uses valid field names and types.

Setup guide

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

Common questions about Zoho Creator MCP in Cursor

The agent mode calls the MCP tools, which execute live API requests to Zoho Creator. The actual returned JSON payload—the real data—is then injected directly into your active code block.

Yep. Running `list_applications` gives you a list of every available app structure. This lets you build code that handles multiple possible target systems within one project.

You can modify any field defined by the application, provided it's exposed via the API. The `update_record` tool handles standard text, number, and date formats.

Use `list_app_reports`. This provides a structured list of available reporting tools. You can then use the report name or ID when calling `get_report_records`.

The agent uses your project-scoped credentials to interact with the API, ensuring that all calls—like reading a record via `get_record_details`—are tied back to the authenticated scope of your development environment.
