Build ProcessOn diagrams from your Cursor editor

The `create_file` tool lets your agent generate flowcharts right from your workspace. When you are writing system architecture code, the editor can spin up a matching visual diagram automatically. You do not have to leave your code editor to create visual documentation. Your agent uses `get_file` to pull the details of existing diagrams into your coding context. This allows you to reference your system maps while writing the actual implementation. It ensures your code and your visual documentation stay in sync.

File and directory discovery for developers

The `list_files` tool gives your editor a complete list of your visual assets. Your agent reads this list to locate system architectures or database schemas related to your active codebase. It makes finding the right diagram simple. If you have a complex project, `get_folder_content` lets you inspect specific directories. You can quickly see which diagrams belong to which microservices. This organizes your workspace without manual clicking.

Team coordination and asset exports

The `list_collaborators` tool reveals who is working on your diagrams. Your agent can check this list to see if the right engineers have access to your architecture layouts. It helps you manage permissions without leaving your terminal. When you need to ship a diagram to production docs, `export_file` handles the heavy lifting. The agent grabs the export and saves it directly to your repository using the MCP interface.

Setup guide

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