Cursor setup

Cursor configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "videosearch": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@videosearch/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "VIDEOSEARCH_API_KEY": "sk_live_..."
      }
    }
  }
}

Config path

The helper endpoint returns:

~/.cursor/mcp.json

Verification flow

1. Save or merge the config.
2. Restart Cursor.
3. Open the MCP panel and verify that the videosearch server is connected.

Generated config endpoint

curl "/api/v2/mcp/config?platform=cursor" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <verified-jwt>"

Use api_key_id=<key_id> when you want to pin the config to an existing API key instead of letting the helper choose or create one.
