How to Use the CloudConvert MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I configure CloudConvert in Cursor?

Add the server to your /.cursor/mcp.json file for global access, or create a project-specific config in .cursor/mcp.json. Once saved, toggle Agent mode in the chat pane to start using the MCP tools.

Q: Can the Cursor agent automate code asset conversions using CloudConvert?

Yes. Your agent uses createconversionjob to convert assets like SVGs to PNGs or audio files to MP3s directly inside your workspace, then commits the output files to your repository.

Q: How do I verify which formats CloudConvert supports in Cursor?

Ask your agent to run listavailableconversionops. It will query the API and list all valid conversion paths for your specific file types directly in your editor sidebar.

Q: How do I check if my API key has enough credits for testing?

Run getmycloudconvertprofile through the chat. The agent will retrieve your credit balance so you know if you need to top up before running large integration tests.

Generate code with live CloudConvert API responses

The `create_conversion_job` tool runs directly inside your active coding session when you use Cursor in Agent mode. Instead of writing code against mock data, your agent triggers a real file conversion and uses the actual JSON response to write your integration logic. The agent monitors the progress using `get_conversion_job_details` to ensure the payload structure matches your code expectations. This means you write fewer tests because your editor tests against live APIs as you build.

Debug asset pipelines using this MCP Server in Cursor

The `get_conversion_task_details` tool lets you inspect the granular steps of your media processing pipelines from your editor. When a video transcoding step fails, your agent pulls the exact error logs to rewrite your configuration parameters. Running `list_conversion_tasks` gives your editor a live feed of all running tasks. You can quickly isolate bottlenecks in your asset pipelines without switching to a web browser.

Audit active conversion jobs from your terminal pane

The `list_conversion_jobs` tool displays your entire active queue directly within the Cursor terminal interface. Your agent reads this list to verify that previous test runs completed successfully before executing new code blocks. By calling `list_available_conversion_ops`, your agent verifies if a specific format migration is supported before writing the code for it. This MCP utility prevents runtime errors before you even commit your changes.

Setup guide

Set up CloudConvert 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 CloudConvert 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 CloudConvert transactions." If the MCP tools are loaded correctly, Cursor will call the CloudConvert tools automatically. You can also check Settings → MCP for a green status indicator.

.cursor/mcp.json

  "mcpServers": {
    "cloudconvert-mcp": {
      "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
