Brightcove integration for Cursor developers

Write code that actually understands your media library. With `list_videos` and `get_video`, you pull real-time responses into your editor instead of guessing with mock data. Cursor lets you trigger these tools while writing logic. It saves you from manual API lookups.

Automate playlist tasks in Cursor

Build scripts that create or update playlists automatically. Use `create_playlist` or `list_playlists` to feed existing account data into your build process. This MCP Server maps your video cloud structure to your codebase. It makes the connection between your media assets and your application logic concrete.

Clean up your video library via Cursor

Manage your assets while you code. You can call `delete_video` or `update_video` to keep your environment tidy without breaking your flow. It keeps your development cycle moving. You stay in the editor while the AI handles the account maintenance.

Setup guide

Set up Brightcove MCP in Cursor

Prerequisites

Cursor installed (macOS, Windows, or Linux)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP Settings

Go to Cursor Settings → MCP or open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and search for "MCP: Add Server".
2

Add the Brightcove MCP

Cursor will create or open .cursor/mcp.json in your project root. Paste the JSON snippet on the right. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Enable Agent mode

Open Composer (Cmd+I / Ctrl+I) and switch to Agent mode using the dropdown at the top. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode.
4

Verify the connection

Ask Cursor something like "List my recent Brightcove transactions." If the MCP tools are loaded correctly, Cursor will call the Brightcove tools automatically. You can also check Settings → MCP for a green status indicator.
