Automate subscriber workflows in Cursor

Let your agent handle the grunt work of managing campaign members. You can use `add_subscriber` to register new users or `update_subscriber` to modify their status while you write your logic. It removes the need to manually sync your database. Just tell the agent what you need and watch it trigger the tools.

Access referral data in Cursor

Get live stats without context switching. Use `get_leaderboard` to pull ranking data or `get_rewards` to see what your users are earning right now. Everything stays within your editor. You can view the output of `list_subscribers` directly in the chat panel while you refactor your code.

Verify conversions in Cursor

Debug your referral logic by checking conversion events. Use `track_conversion` to simulate or log events and `list_transactions` to review the history. It helps you see how the API responds to different inputs. You get an immediate look at the raw data returned by the server.

Setup guide

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