How to Use the ThePDFMaker MCP in Cursor

Q: How does ThePDFMaker integrate with the code I'm writing in Cursor?

The MCP Server allows the AI agent to call tools like generatepdf and inject the live API responses (e.g., a list of templates) directly into your working code, keeping you in the editor.

Q: If I need template details for ThePDFMaker using Cursor, which tool should I use?

Run gettemplatedetails. This provides specific info on a template ID. You can then write code that validates those specifics before calling the main generation function.

Q: What happens if ThePDFMaker fails during generation when using Cursor?

You use getpdfstatus to poll the job status and confirm failure. The agent mode handles this by surfacing the error code right in your coding context.

Q: Can I list all available templates for ThePDFMaker using Cursor?

Yep, just call listpdftemplates. This populates a live array of template IDs that you can use immediately when writing the generation logic.

Q: What data does ThePDFMaker touch when checking account info in Cursor?

The server uses getuserprofile to fetch your account details. This includes user-specific identifiers and organizational information, which can then be used as variables in the PDF template.

Injecting Live API Responses

When you're mid-code, the AI can call `get_user_profile` to fetch account info live. This data gets injected directly into your script as a real variable—not fake mock data. The Agent mode makes sure that when we use tools like `list_pdf_templates`, the resulting list of IDs appears right in the code block you’re writing.

Executing PDF Generation Steps

To generate a document, just run `generate_pdf` and pass the required template ID. The result is a job ticket that you can then track using `get_pdf_status`. It’s all live data feeding into your program. If you need to clean up old templates, calling `delete_pdf_template` happens in context, so it feels like native code execution.

Managing API Credentials and Assets

Need to check if the server is even online? Running `get_api_status` confirms connectivity right before your script runs. Similarly, listing assets with `list_asset_files` gives you a live inventory of what files are available for document creation. The agent can also run `get_credit_balance` to ensure your current project has enough budget.

Setup guide

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