Compatible with every major AI agent and IDE
What is the Hookdeck MCP Server?
Connect your Hookdeck account to any AI agent to orchestrate your webhook infrastructure through natural conversation. Hookdeck provides the reliability layer for your event-driven architecture, and this server puts that power in your chat interface.
What you can do
- Connection Management — List, create, and update connections that route webhooks from sources to destinations.
- Traffic Control — Instantly pause or resume event routing for specific connections to manage maintenance windows or outages.
- Source Monitoring — Retrieve and count your webhook sources to understand where your incoming data originates.
- Lifecycle Operations — Enable or disable connections and manage their rules via JSON payloads without leaving your workflow.
- Deep Inspection — Fetch specific metadata for any connection or source using unique IDs to debug routing issues.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Hookdeck API Key
- Start managing your webhook reliability layer from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Backend Engineers — quickly toggle webhook traffic or check connection statuses during deployments.
- DevOps Teams — monitor the health of event-driven pipelines and manage sources programmatically.
- Integration Specialists — verify routing rules and connection counts across different environments.

Why Cursor?
Cursor's Agent mode turns Hookdeck into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Hookdeck and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 52 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
Hookdeck in Cursor
Hookdeck and 4,000+ other MCP servers. One platform. One governance layer.
Teams that connect Hookdeck 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.

| Server catalog | Find and host yourself | 4,000+ managed |
| Infrastructure | Self-hosted | Sandboxed V8 isolates |
| Credential handling | Plaintext in config | Vault + runtime injection |
| Data loss prevention | None | Configurable DLP policies |
| Kill switch | None | Global instant shutdown |
| Financial circuit breakers | None | Per-server limits + alerts |
| Audit trail | None | Ed25519 signed logs |
| SIEM log streaming | None | Splunk, Datadog, Webhook |
| Honeytokens | None | Canary alerts on leak |
| Custom domains | Not applicable | DNS challenge verified |
| GDPR compliance | Manual effort | Automated purge + export |
Why teams choose Vinkius for Hookdeck in Cursor
The Hookdeck 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 52 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.

How Vinkius secures
Hookdeck for Cursor
Every tool call from Cursor to the Hookdeck MCP Server is protected by DLP redaction, cryptographic audit chains, V8 sandbox isolation, kill switch, and financial circuit breakers.
Frequently asked questions
How can I temporarily stop webhooks from being delivered to a destination?
You can use the pause_connection tool with the specific Connection ID. This will halt event routing until you call unpause_connection.
Can I see how many active sources I have configured?
Yes, use the count_sources tool to get the total number of sources, or list_sources to see the details of each one.
Is it possible to update connection rules through the AI?
Absolutely. Use the update_connection tool by providing the Connection ID and a JSON body containing the new configuration rules.
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.
