What is the Fastn MCP Server?
Connect your Fastn account to any AI agent to orchestrate complex backend workflows and real-time API flows through natural language.
What you can do
- Flow Execution — Trigger Fastn flows instantly with custom JSON payloads and receive real-time responses via the API sync layer.
- Workflow Management — List, create, update, and publish flow definitions across different tenants to maintain your business logic.
- Execution Monitoring — Track execution history and drill down into step-by-step traces to debug or audit automated processes.
- Credential Handling — Securely store, retrieve, and rotate credentials for your various connectors and third-party integrations.
- Platform Insights — Monitor your platform usage, including daily quotas, summary metrics, and active space configurations.

Why Cursor?
Cursor's Agent mode turns Fastn into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Fastn and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 16 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

Why teams choose Vinkius for Fastn in Cursor
The Fastn 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 16 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.

Frequently asked questions
Can I trigger a flow and get the result immediately?
Yes. Use the execute_flow tool with the flow name and input data. It performs a real-time sync execution and returns the response directly to the agent.
How can I debug a failed flow execution?
You can use list_executions to find the ID of the failed run, then use get_execution to retrieve a full step-by-step trace of what happened during that specific execution.
Is it possible to update an existing workflow definition?
Absolutely. The update_workflow tool allows you to modify the JSON definition of any flow. Remember to use publish_workflow afterwards to deploy your changes to the live environment.
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.
