All agents

Cursor + invideo

Cursor is Anysphere's AI code editor, with an agent that plans, edits across files and runs commands. Add invideo's MCP server in one click and the same agent makes product demos and release videos next to the code they show, cut on an invideo timeline you can open and edit.

Frequently asked questions

How do I add invideo to Cursor?

Click the button in the quick start above and Cursor installs the server in one click. Or use the invideo CLI: run npm install -g invideo, then invideo auth login. Or add {"mcpServers":{"invideo":{"url":"https://mcp.invideo.io/mcp"}}} to ~/.cursor/mcp.json by hand. Cursor asks you to sign in with invideo when the server connects. There is no API key.

Do I need an invideo account?

Yes. You sign in with an invideo account when Cursor connects, and you can create one during sign-in.

Can I edit while Cursor's agent is working?

Yes. You and the agent work in the same editor. You see its cursor and each edit as it happens, and you can make your own edits at any time.

What can I export?

A rendered video, or an editable project for Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro or DaVinci Resolve. Exports come from a project saved to your invideo account.

Troubleshooting

Issue:The one-click link opens Cursor but nothing installs

Solution:Add {"mcpServers":{"invideo":{"url":"https://mcp.invideo.io/mcp"}}} to ~/.cursor/mcp.json by hand, save it and restart Cursor.

Issue:Cursor's agent doesn't use invideo's tools

Solution:Check invideo is turned on under Customize > MCPs and its tools are on in the chat panel's tools list, then ask for invideo by name.

Issue:The server fails to connect or sign in

Solution:Open the Output panel (Cmd+Shift+U on Mac, Ctrl+Shift+U elsewhere) and choose MCP Logs. Then remove invideo from Customize > MCPs, add it again and sign in.
