Connect FileStack MCP to Cursor
Create your Vinkius account to connect FileStack to Cursor and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
FileStack tools for Cursor developers
Stop mocking your media uploads. Use `upload_from_url` to fetch real files and `get_metadata` to populate your database with verified file data. This lets you write code that interacts with actual assets. You spend less time debugging file ingestion and more time writing features.
Analyze visual data in your editor
Feed `get_ocr` or `get_image_tags` results directly into your Cursor chat. It gives the AI perfect context for the images you are referencing in your code. No more guessing what is in an image. You get structured data that you can immediately parse into your application logic.
Streamline video tasks in Cursor
Trigger `start_video_transcode` to kick off conversion jobs from your terminal or chat. Use `get_video_status` to check progress without switching windows. It treats video transcoding like any other function call. You keep your head in the code while the server handles the media processing.
