How to Use the Retable MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I configure the Retable MCP Server in my Cursor editor?

Create a .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root or modify your global settings. Add the server configuration under the mcpServers key with your Vinkius connection details.

Q: Can Cursor modify my Retable tables without my permission?

No. Cursor only calls tools like updaterecord or deleterecord when you explicitly prompt the agent in chat or Composer mode. You control every action before it executes.

Q: Does Cursor support relational lookups across multiple Retable projects?

Yes. Cursor uses listprojects and getproject to navigate your entire workspace. The agent can pull data from multiple projects to resolve complex relations in your code.

Inject live Retable spreadsheet data directly into your Cursor editor to generate code with real relational database context.

Query Retable schemas directly inside Cursor

This MCP Server relies on `list_tables` and `get_table` to feed your Cursor agent the precise structure of your relational databases. The editor reads your columns and field types, allowing the AI to write database integrations that match your live schema. You write code against real-world table definitions rather than guessing column names or relying on outdated documentation. Your agent checks the active project layout and writes accurate TypeScript or Python models on the fly.

Read and write live records during code generation

The server executes `create_record` and `update_record` to let Cursor insert test data or update live spreadsheet rows as you write code. Your agent tests your database integration logic by running real transactions against your Retable tables. When debugging, the agent calls `get_record` and `list_records` to verify that your application code actually changed the database. This eliminates the need to keep a browser window open just to watch row updates.

Automate code testing with Retable status checks

Using `check_retable_status`, your Cursor agent verifies API connectivity before running complex database migrations or tests over this MCP bridge. If the connection fails, the editor flags the issue immediately, saving you from debugging empty API responses. You can also run `delete_record` through the editor's chat panel to clean up test rows generated during your coding session. It keeps your development and production tables tidy without leaving the IDE.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

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