How to Use the PDFMonkey MCP in Cursor

Q: Can Cursor write TypeScript types for my PDFMonkey templates?

Yes, Cursor uses gettemplate to fetch your layout fields and can automatically generate matching TypeScript interfaces inside your project files.

Q: Does Cursor support asynchronous PDF generation testing?

Yes, the agent can write polling logic using checkpdfstatus by observing real-time status changes from the API while you run your code.

Write production-ready PDF generation code in Cursor using the PDFMonkey MCP Server instead of mock data.

Map PDFMonkey Payload Schemas in Cursor Agent Mode

Stop guessing the structure of your document payloads. While you write your backend routes, this MCP integration uses `get_template` to inspect your active PDFMonkey templates and inject the exact JSON schema directly into your code. The editor runs `list_templates` in the background to ensure you are referencing valid template IDs, letting the AI agent write type-safe integrations without leaving your workspace.

Test Document Generation Pipelines Inline

Run live tests of your document generation loops right inside the editor. Cursor triggers `generate_pdf` with your test payloads, then uses `check_pdf_status` to verify that the rendering engine successfully processed your HTML and CSS. If the build fails, Cursor reads the error details via `get_pdf_details` and automatically suggests the exact code fixes to resolve layout or data mismatch errors.

Manage Test Documents and Workspaces from the Editor

Keep your development environment clean while building your app. This MCP Server allows Cursor to clean up test files using `delete_generated_pdf` and list active environments using `list_workspaces` as you write your setup scripts. You can also test document updates on the fly. The agent can execute `update_document` or `regenerate_document` to verify your data-patching logic before you commit your code to Git.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pdfmonkey-mcp": {
      "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    }
  }

Common questions about PDFMonkey MCP in Cursor

Add the PDFMonkey MCP Server to your global or project-specific `mcp.json` file in Cursor. Once configured, enable Agent mode in your editor chat to start calling the document tools.

Yes, Cursor uses `get_template` to fetch your layout fields and can automatically generate matching TypeScript interfaces inside your project files.

When a PDF fails to render, ask the Cursor agent to check the status. It will run `check_pdf_status` and `get_pdf_details` to retrieve the error logs and rewrite your code to fix the broken payload.

Yes, the agent can write polling logic using `check_pdf_status` by observing real-time status changes from the API while you run your code.

Your PDFMonkey API keys remain encrypted in your local Cursor configuration. Any template metadata or document payloads processed during code generation pass through an ephemeral, zero-trust sandbox that never caches your business data.
