Connect Cursor IDE
Add the Velip MCP server to Cursor and use Velip tools from the AI chat.
Configuration
Edit your Cursor MCP configuration file:
- macOS / Linux:
~/.cursor/mcp.json - Windows:
%USERPROFILE%\.cursor\mcp.json
Add the Velip server:
{
"mcpServers": {
"velipai-apis": {
"url": "https://vox20.velip.com.br/mcpserver/velip",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_TOKEN_30_CHARS"
}
}
}
}
Replace YOUR_TOKEN_30_CHARS with your Velip MCP token.
Restart Cursor
After saving mcp.json, restart Cursor (or reload the window) so the MCP server is discovered.
Verify connection
In Cursor chat, try:
- “What Velip MCP tools do I have?”
- “Send an SMS to 11999999999 with text Hello”
- “List my WhatsApp lines”
Cursor will call tools/list and then invoke tools as needed.
Troubleshooting
| Symptom | Check |
|---|---|
| No Velip tools appear | Token missing MCP permissions — see Permissions |
401 / authentication error |
Token invalid or typo in Authorization header |
| Only some tools visible | Expected — only enabled channels appear in tools/list |
| Tool call fails with business error | Check tool reference and REST error codes |
Security
- Do not commit
mcp.jsonwith real tokens to version control. - Prefer a machine-local config or environment-specific token with minimal permissions.
