Inject Real Trip Costs into Cursor Code

Right. So. The `calculate_trip_cost` tool runs inside Cursor to let your agent inject real-world trip pricing directly into your logistics code. It replaces static mock data with actual cash calculations based on your specified fuel types inside the Cursor editor. Because Cursor runs this MCP in agent mode, it can write and test your travel budget functions using actual live metrics. You don't have to write manual fuel calculators or guess E85 burn rates in Cursor.

Evaluate E85 vs Gasoline with this MCP Server

The `compare_fuel_efficiency` tool determines whether ethanol or traditional gasoline yields better financial value for your vehicle fleet inside Cursor. It runs directly from the Cursor sidebar to analyze local fuel price ratios. Your Cursor agent uses these live numbers to write conditional routing logic that automatically favors the cheaper fuel option. This lets you build smart navigation software in Cursor that adapts to fluctuating pump prices.

Generate Structured Journey Summaries

The bottom line? The `get_trip_summary` tool outputs a complete breakdown of journey expenses and optimal fuel choices inside Cursor. It formats the data into a clean JSON structure that Cursor can immediately parse and write into your database schema. This direct data injection prevents manual formatting errors and keeps your Cursor logistics database accurate. You get clean, structured fuel cost summaries written directly into your active Cursor files.

Setup guide

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".
