Live data access via the MCP Server

The `list_notebooks` tool lets your agent pull a list of all notebook IDs, which you can then reference directly in your code. This means your function uses real IDs instead of hardcoded stubs. If you need to read specific details, calling `get_notebook` or `get_notecard` injects live data into the context window, so your generated code is accurate.

Managing ideas for development tasks

Your agent can create new structure using `create_notebook`, letting you immediately reference that new resource in a function. Similarly, it uses `create_notecard` to generate initial content and gives you the ID so your code can use it. This workflow is great for building tools that need external context without mock data.

Targeted manipulation of note content

When you call `search_notecards`, your agent pulls specific notes based on keywords and a given notebook ID. This data can then be used to populate variables in the code you're writing. Need to change something? Use `update_notecard` or `delete_notecard`. The API response gives you confirmation, so you know the context is correctly adjusted before moving on.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

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

Common questions about Zoho Notebook MCP in Cursor

Your agent executes `list_notebooks` to grab all available notebook IDs. You can then pass those IDs directly into your code's logic or function parameters.

Yes. Tools like `update_notecard` ensure that when you change a note, the changes stick to the live record. Your agent handles this interaction, making sure your code reflects the latest state.

The server manages structured knowledge: notebooks (containers) and notecards (individual pieces of text). These records contain IDs and textual content that your agent can read or modify.

Yeah. That's the right tool for keyword searching. You pass it a notebook ID, and your agent returns matching notecard data directly into your code context.

No. The server only interacts with the remote state of the records (notebooks and notecards). It provides live API responses to your code, but it doesn't access your machine's files.
