How to Use the Zoho WorkDrive MCP in Cursor

Q: How does Cursor use the Zoho WorkDrive MCP Server?

In Agent mode, Cursor lets the AI call tools like listrecentfiles. The live data returned from these calls is then automatically injected into the code you are writing, making file operations concrete.

Q: Can I use Zoho WorkDrive in my codebase with Cursor?

Yes. By setting up the server in your project scope (.cursor/mcp.json), you enable the AI to treat Zoho WorkDrive as a live context source for coding tasks.

Q: What data does this MCP Server touch regarding privacy for Cursor users?

The server handles file metadata, user profiles (getmyprofile), and folder structure. This allows your agent to read the necessary details from Zoho WorkDrive without exposing unnecessary private data.

Q: Does this MCP Server support complex workflows in Zoho WorkDrive for Cursor?

It does. You can write code that first calls listfiles and then, based on the results, uses deletefile or createsharelink, making it a powerful development tool.

Q: If I use Zoho WorkDrive in Cursor, what setup is required?

You must create the .cursor/mcp.json file and add the server configuration there. Then, make sure you enable Agent mode in the chat to let the AI execute the tools.

Live Data Context from Zoho WorkDrive

The agent calls tools like `list_files` and injects the resulting data directly into your code. You don’t get mock responses; you get live file names, IDs, and metadata. This means if you're writing a script to process documents, the output from `get_file_metadata` feeds straight into your function body, keeping context without leaving Cursor.

Programmatic File Management

Need to write code that organizes content? Use `create_folder` and `rename_file` within your project. The AI generates the necessary API calls using these tools. It's perfect for building scripts that need to audit content, pulling a list of files via `list_files`, and then acting on specific items.

Zoho WorkDrive Operations in Code

You can manage permissions entirely within your editor. The agent uses the `list_file_permissions` tool to check access control lists, which is critical for secure development. Furthermore, if you need to confirm team structure, running `list_teams` provides an array of workspaces that your code can then iterate over.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

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