How to Use the Elai AI Video MCP in Cursor

Q: Can Cursor use Elai AI Video to generate drafts from my code?

Yes, Cursor calls createnewaivideo using your code parameters. It builds the draft in your Elai account and returns the project ID.

Q: How do I track render progress using Elai AI Video in Cursor?

Ask the Cursor agent to check the status. It runs getvideodetails or listsuccessfullyrenderedvideos to show you the rendering progress.

Q: Can I fetch my video templates directly in the editor?

Yes, you can. The editor runs listvideotemplates to retrieve your custom layouts, allowing you to use them in your automation scripts.

Build custom video generation scripts inside Cursor by feeding live avatar and voice data to your codebase.

Write video automation code with Cursor MCP Server

The `create_new_ai_video` tool allows the Cursor editor to write, test, and execute video-generation workflows directly in your codebase. Your AI agent writes the script, calls the tool, and validates the output structure immediately. Because Cursor has direct access to this MCP Server, it generates actual working code blocks instead of placeholder text. You can run the code to build drafts without leaving your editor.

Inject live avatar and voice IDs into your code

The `list_available_avatars` tool pulls current actor identifiers directly into your Cursor chat or inline composer. You pair these with specific voice configurations retrieved via `list_available_voices` to build dynamic video templates. This prevents runtime errors caused by stale or hardcoded asset IDs. Cursor reads the live API payload and inserts valid parameters directly into your active files.

Monitor rendering queues and check credit balances

The `get_video_details` tool provides the exact rendering state of your projects directly to the Cursor terminal interface. Your agent tracks active jobs using `list_latest_video_projects` to verify that your automated pipeline is executing correctly. You can also call `get_elai_account_metadata` to check your available API credits. This ensures your automated test runs do not deplete your balance unexpectedly.

Setup guide

Set up Elai AI Video 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".
