How to Use the Prowlarr (Indexers) MCP in Cursor

Q: How does the Prowlarr (Indexers) MCP Server in Cursor help me write media tools?

Your agent uses listindexers to pull real tracker data directly into your editor. This lets you write and test code using active configurations instead of placeholder data.

Q: Can I test if my tracker config is correct using Prowlarr (Indexers) in Cursor?

Yes, the agent runs testindexer to verify credentials inside your editor. It checks the response to ensure your configuration matches what the tracker expects.

Q: Can I remove an indexer directly from the editor?

Yes, the deleteindexer tool allows you to remove any configured tracker. The agent executes this command immediately, which syncs the changes to your Prowlarr instance.

Control your indexer stack directly from Cursor using this lightweight MCP Server.

Code scraper scripts with real-time MCP Server data

This MCP Server hooks into your editor to feed actual tracker configurations into your workspace. The `list_indexers` tool lets your agent pull your active indexer list directly into your code. You get to write integration tests using real tracker IDs instead of guessing or using fake stubs. This speeds up development because you are working with live backend states.

Validate indexer status during development

The `get_indexer_status` tool gives your agent direct access to Prowlarr's health checks through the MCP protocol. When writing custom automation, the agent verifies if a tracker is online before running test queries. It executes `test_indexer` to confirm the API key is valid. This prevents you from wasting API hits on dead indexers while debugging your scripts.

Automate indexer provisioning through Agent mode

The `add_indexer` tool allows your agent to provision new indexers based on configuration files in your repository. It reads your local setup and pushes it to Prowlarr. Before writing the payload, the agent runs `get_indexer_schema` to match the exact requirements of the target indexer. This ensures your automated deployments never fail due to missing fields.

Setup guide

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