How to Use the TaxBandits MCP in Cursor

Q: Can I use TaxBandits with Cursor to build an audit script?

You can absolutely. You'd write a loop that calls listtransmissions and then uses getsubmissionstatus inside the loop. This lets your agent check compliance status for every single filing record in real time.

Write code using live tax data in Cursor. Your AI client injects real API responses directly into your codebase.

Querying available business entities.

Need to build a function that only processes active clients? You can write a script calling `list_businesses`. The AI will execute this, and the resulting list of IDs gets injected directly into your code block. Similarly, if you want to scope down what forms are needed for a project, use `list_tax_forms` in your agent mode. This lets you iterate over available form codes while writing.

Validating tax filing completion.

Before finalizing a payment script, you gotta confirm the status first. Call `get_submission_status` to check if a specific form submission passed validation. The returned JSON response populates your variable right there. And for tracking multiple filings, writing a loop around `list_transmissions` lets your agent gather all the necessary transmission records into an array that you can then process further.

Creating and retrieving business context.

If your code needs to handle a new client, structure it so the AI calls `create_business`. You pass the JSON payload, and immediately after, call `get_business_details` using that newly created ID. This makes sure your data chain is continuous. This pattern ensures that every piece of logic you write has context for the business entity, preventing runtime errors related to missing client profiles.

Setup guide

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

Common questions about TaxBandits MCP in Cursor

When you're in Agent mode, your AI client calls the MCP tools. Crucially, it doesn't use mock data; it executes the API call and injects the live JSON response straight into the code file you're editing.

It covers major IRS forms like W-2, 1099, and ACA filings. The `list_tax_forms` tool lets your code dynamically check for all the relevant form codes you need to handle.

You can absolutely. You'd write a loop that calls `list_transmissions` and then uses `get_submission_status` inside the loop. This lets your agent check compliance status for every single filing record in real time.

Yes. You can chain calls together seamlessly. For example, create a business using `create_business`, and then immediately use its ID to fetch details via `get_business_details` in the same script.

It primarily touches submission status records. When calling `get_submission_status`, you're dealing with structured JSON objects that report on the compliance and acceptance state of a specific form.
