How to Use the Sansan MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I test contact integrations using Sansan and Cursor?

You can ask the Cursor agent to run getbizcard with a test ID. It pulls the real business card data payload into your editor, letting you write parsers against live JSON.

Q: Can Cursor help me clean up duplicate Sansan records?

Yes, you can ask Cursor to run listpersons and write a script that identifies duplicates. The agent analyzes the returned contact list to help you write deduplication logic.

Q: Does the Sansan MCP Server support filtering by tags in Cursor?

It does. The server includes listtags, which Cursor can query to help you write filtering logic based on your company's existing card categories.

Q: How do I inspect the department structure of a client company?

Ask the agent to run listdepartments. It will fetch the department list and display the hierarchy directly inside your Cursor chat window.

Write code with live Sansan MCP Server context

Stop writing mock APIs when building internal sales tools. Your Cursor agent calls `list_biz_cards` by connecting the MCP Server to pull actual, digitized business cards directly into your active workspace. This means you can write, test, and debug contact-syncing functions using real data payloads. The agent handles the schema mapping automatically, saving you hours of manual API testing.

Query contact details directly from the editor

When debugging a contact integration, you don't need to open a browser to check if a record exists. Ask Cursor to verify a specific profile, and it uses `get_person` to fetch the exact fields. The agent can also run `search_biz_cards` to locate specific test records. You get the exact JSON structure returned by the API right in your chat panel, ready to copy into your test suites.

Map organization schemas for internal tools

Building a custom corporate directory requires understanding how departments are nested. Cursor uses `list_departments` to read the organizational structure of your target accounts. By combining this with `list_users`, the agent helps you draft accurate SQL schemas or TypeScript interfaces that mirror your actual contact database.

Setup guide

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