Programmatic area logic in Cursor

Generate reliable square footage requirements while you code your building models. `calculate_programmatic_needs` processes your entire room list in one call. Your agent writes the code based on hard data. No more mock numbers in your design scripts.

Base area lookups for Cursor agents

Query standard room sizes instantly with `get_base_area_by_function`. The agent pulls the minimum usable area for any environment type you specify. This keeps your code focused on logic rather than hardcoded constants. It's the fastest way to build out an architectural database.

Structural adjustment logic at scale

Adjust your gross area based on real structural constraints using `adjust_area_for_structure`. The agent applies the appropriate multiplier for your building's frame. This prevents your design from exceeding site footprints. You get the math right before you commit to a structural plan.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

  "mcpServers": {
    "area-program-calculator-mcp": {
      "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"

Common questions about Area Program Calculator MCP in Cursor

Define the MCP in your .cursor/mcp.json file. Once added, enable Agent mode in the chat to start calculating your building program.

It works as an external tool that your agent calls. You can pipe the results directly into your existing codebase or configuration files.

Yes. You can commit the mcp.json config to your repository, ensuring every developer on your team has access to the same calculation tools.

Every call is cryptographically signed and ephemeral. Your building specs are never stored on disk, and Vinkius ensures secure transit for all your requests.

The tools rely on industry-standard multipliers. For complex projects, always run a peer review on the output to ensure it accounts for local seismic or site-specific conditions.
