Cursor ​

Cursor is the AI-first code editor built by Anysphere that redefined how developers interact with AI. Unlike traditional editors that bolt AI on as a sidebar, Cursor's entire UX is designed around Agent Mode — the AI reads your codebase, makes multi-file edits, runs commands, and self-corrects. Native MCP has been built in since v0.43, with the agent auto-discovering tools and invoking them without explicit instructions.

Agent Mode Auto-Discovers MCP Tools ​

When you activate Agent Mode in Cursor, it scans your configured MCP servers and auto-discovers available tools. If a tool is relevant to the current task, the agent calls it without you needing to mention it. Ask "check the deployment status and fix the failing test" — the agent calls your monitoring MCP tool, reads the error, edits the code, and re-runs the test.

Cursor 2.0 introduced a multi-agent interface. Mission Control provides a grid view of all running agents, and you can spin up multiple agent sessions working on different tasks in parallel — each with full MCP access.

Cursor Tab predicts not just what you'll type, but where your cursor will move next. It rewrites entire blocks of code with one tab press — the most aggressive autocomplete in any editor.

Key capabilities:

  • Native MCP (v0.43+) — stdio and Streamable HTTP transport
  • Auto-discovery — agent finds and uses MCP tools contextually
  • Cursor 2.0 — multi-agent interface with parallel execution
  • Mission Control — visual grid for managing multiple agent sessions
  • Cursor Tab — predictive whole-block code editing
  • Semantic search — @Recommended for full codebase context
  • VS Code compatible — all extensions, themes, and keybindings work
  • ACP Registry — register agents that also work in JetBrains

How to Connect ​

1. Create a Token ​

In Vinkius Cloud, go to your server → Connection Tokens → Create. Copy the URL.

2. Add in Settings ​

Go to Settings → Features → MCP → click + Add new MCP server → paste your Vinkius URL.

3. Code with Agent Mode ​

Open the chat panel → select Agent Mode. The agent auto-discovers MCP tools and uses them when relevant.

FAQ ​

Does Agent Mode automatically use MCP tools? Yes. The agent auto-discovers available tools and invokes them when the task requires it. No explicit mention needed.

Can I run multiple agents with MCP tools? Yes. Cursor 2.0's Mission Control lets you run parallel agents, each with full MCP access.

Does Cursor support both stdio and HTTP MCP transport? Yes. Both are supported natively since v0.43.

Is Cursor a VS Code fork? Yes. All VS Code extensions, themes, and keybindings are compatible.
