Compatible with every major AI agent and IDE
What is the Cube.dev MCP Server?
Connect your Cube.dev instance to any AI agent to bridge the gap between natural language and your data warehouse. This server allows your agent to interact with Cube's semantic layer, ensuring consistent metrics and high-performance data retrieval.
What you can do
- Data Querying — Execute complex REST API queries using
load_queryto fetch aggregated data with measures, dimensions, and filters. - SQL Inspection — Use
get_sqlandexecute_cube_sqlto debug or run raw queries against the SQL API for deep data investigation. - Metadata Exploration — Retrieve cube definitions, views, and segments via
get_metato understand your data model without leaving the chat. - Performance Management — Trigger and monitor background pre-aggregation builds with
trigger_pre_aggregation_jobto ensure your dashboards stay fast. - Cloud Management — List deployments and environments if using Cube Cloud to manage your infrastructure context.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Provide your Cube API URL and Secret Token
- Start asking questions about your data metrics and model structure
Who is this for?
- Data Engineers — quickly verify data models and trigger cache refreshes via CLI or AI interface.
- Analytics Engineers — debug generated SQL and inspect metadata to ensure metric consistency.
- Product Managers — get instant answers to data questions by letting the AI query the semantic layer directly.

Why Cursor?
Cursor's Agent mode turns Cube.dev into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Cube.dev and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 15 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.
- —
Agent mode turns Cursor into an autonomous coding assistant that can read files, run commands, and call MCP tools without switching context
- —
Cursor's Composer feature can generate entire files using real-time data fetched through MCP. no copy-pasting from external dashboards
- —
MCP tools appear alongside built-in tools like file reading and terminal access, creating a unified agentic environment
- —
VS Code extension compatibility means your existing workflow, keybindings, and extensions all work alongside MCP tools
Cube.dev in Cursor
Cube.dev and 4,000+ other MCP servers. One platform. One governance layer.
Teams that connect Cube.dev to Cursor through Vinkius don't need to source, host, or maintain individual MCP servers. Every tool call runs inside a hardened runtime with credential isolation, DLP, and a signed audit chain.

Why teams choose Vinkius for Cube.dev in Cursor
The Cube.dev MCP Server runs on Vinkius-managed infrastructure inside AWS — a purpose-built runtime with per-request V8 isolates, Ed25519 signed audit chains, and sub-40ms cold starts. All 15 tools execute in hardened sandboxes optimized for native MCP execution.
Your AI agents in Cursor only access the data you authorize, with DLP that blocks sensitive information from ever reaching the model, kill switch for instant shutdown, and up to 60% token savings. Enterprise-grade infrastructure, zero maintenance.

* Every MCP server runs on Vinkius-managed infrastructure inside AWS - a purpose-built runtime with per-request V8 isolates, Ed25519 signed audit chains, and sub-40ms cold starts optimized for native MCP execution. See our infrastructure
How Vinkius secures
Cube.dev for Cursor
Every tool call from Cursor to the Cube.dev MCP Server is protected by DLP redaction, cryptographic audit chains, V8 sandbox isolation, kill switch, and financial circuit breakers.
Frequently asked questions
Can I see the exact SQL that Cube generates for a specific query?
Yes. You can use the get_sql tool. By providing the query JSON, the agent will return the generated SQL string, which is perfect for debugging or verifying your data logic.
How do I refresh the data cache or pre-aggregations using the AI?
You can use the trigger_pre_aggregation_job tool. You can specify which cubes or data sources to target, and the agent will initiate the background build process for you.
Is it possible to explore the available measures and dimensions?
Absolutely. Use the get_meta tool to fetch all metadata. This allows the AI to understand what data is available to be queried, including views and segments.
What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?
Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.
Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?
Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.
Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?
No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.
How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?
Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
Tools not appearing in Cursor
Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.
Server shows as disconnected
Check Settings → Features → MCP and verify the server status. Try clicking the refresh button.
