How to Use the Plaud MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I configure Plaud in Cursor?

Create an mcp.json file inside your project's .cursor folder to load this Plaud MCP Server. Add the server details and your Vinkius token under the mcpServers key to activate the Plaud tools in Cursor.

Q: Can Cursor write scripts to organize my Plaud folders?

Yes, your Cursor agent can write code using listfolders and updatefile to automate your Plaud organization. It tests the code with your live Plaud account data during your active Cursor chat session.

Q: How does Cursor handle Plaud file downloads via MCP?

The Cursor agent calls getdownloadurl to retrieve the direct MP3 link of your Plaud recording. You can then write scripts inside the Cursor editor to download and process these Plaud files locally.

Q: Can I check my Plaud account status within Cursor?

Yes, the getme tool lets your Cursor agent fetch your Plaud profile details. This helps verify your Plaud API connection is active before running complex scripts in Cursor.

Write code that interacts with your Plaud recordings and transcripts directly inside the Cursor editor.

Build automated Plaud audio pipelines inside Cursor

The `list_files` and `get_file_detail` tools let your Cursor agent write and execute code that pulls live Plaud data. The Cursor editor uses these tools to find your latest Plaud recordings and inspect their specific attributes. Instead of writing mock tests, your Cursor agent calls these Plaud tools to pull real API responses directly into your active workspace. You can build scripts that process actual Plaud meeting data while you write code in Cursor.

Generate Cursor code using real Plaud transcripts

The `get_transcript` and `get_summary` tools read actual Plaud transcript structures directly inside Cursor. Your developer agent in Cursor reads these structures to understand the exact JSON payload and see how Plaud summaries are formatted in production. This lets you write precise Plaud parsers in Cursor without guessing the API schema. You get real Plaud text payloads injected directly into your active Cursor file buffers.

Keep Plaud metadata updated while coding in Cursor

The `update_file` and `list_tags` tools manage your Plaud audio database structure directly from the Cursor editor's terminal or chat. This MCP Server lets your Cursor agent modify Plaud tags and check your existing taxonomy. If you need to clean up Plaud test data, your Cursor agent can call `delete_file` to remove specific recordings. You manage your Plaud voice assets without leaving your Cursor workspace.

Setup guide

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