How to Use the Showpad MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I use Showpad assets in my code with Cursor?

In Agent mode, prompt the AI to call searchassets. The agent executes the tool against the Showpad MCP Server and then writes the resulting data structure directly into your project file.

Q: Can I list organizational divisions in Showpad using Cursor?

Yep, just use listdivisions. The AI calls this tool, gets a list of all divisions from the Showpad MCP Server, and you can incorporate that structure into your code logic.

Q: What data types does this MCP Server touch regarding Showpad?

The server touches asset metadata (listassets), user profile details (getuserdetails), and content classification tags. The core data type is structured sales collateral information from Showpad.

Q: How do I list all users in Showpad using Cursor?

Use the listusers tool. When your agent runs this, it gets a live array of Showpad user records. You can then write code that iterates over that specific dataset.

Q: Does this MCP Server help me with showpad content governance?

It does. By allowing you to call getassetdetails and listtags, your agent can pull the exact details needed to check compliance or validate asset usage within Showpad.

Write code based on asset metadata.

Need to generate a manifest of available sales collateral? Use `list_assets` and inject the resulting IDs directly into your function. The AI calls this tool, gets real data, and then writes working code using that live context.

Fetch user details for API inputs.

Building a script that needs user-specific permissions? Call `get_user_details` to retrieve current user information. Your agent uses the real JSON response from Showpad to populate variables, keeping your code accurate.

Search assets and build filters.

If you're writing a search endpoint for collateral, start with `search_assets`. The AI executes this tool, receives the results, and then constructs the correct query parameters into the function you are writing. No mock data needed here.

Setup guide

Set up Showpad 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 Showpad 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.
