Generate visuals via Cursor

Call `create_image` from your chat panel to generate marketing assets while you code. The server returns the final image URL for immediate testing. This workflow lets you see your production designs inside your editor environment. You stop guessing what the output looks like.

Fetch template data in Cursor

Query your library with `list_templates` to get a list of all active designs. It shows you the exact template IDs required for your code. Use `get_template` to inspect the schema of a specific layout. You get the field names directly in the chat, allowing you to build your data structures faster.

Automate video creation with Cursor

Request `create_video` through the agent to start rendering your video templates. It handles the heavy lifting so you can focus on your logic. Your code gets the asset status back as soon as it's ready. You can then use those URLs to populate your application interfaces.
