About FileStack MCP Server

Connect your Filestack account to any AI agent to handle complex file workflows, from cloud uploads to advanced AI content analysis, through simple commands.

Cursor's Agent mode turns FileStack into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from FileStack and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 8 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.

What you can do

Smart Uploads — Upload files directly from any public URL to your Filestack S3 storage using upload_from_url.
AI Intelligence — Automatically extract text from documents (get_ocr), detect objects and features in images (get_image_tags), and check for unsafe content (get_sfw_status).
Image Transformations — Generate optimized CDN URLs for resizing, blurring, or filtering images using generate_transform_url without manual editing.
Video Processing — Initiate and monitor asynchronous video transcoding jobs (start_video_transcode) to convert files into web-ready formats like MP4 or HLS.
Metadata Inspection — Retrieve deep technical details including dimensions, mime types, and file sizes with get_metadata.

The FileStack MCP Server exposes 8 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Cursor in under two minutes — credentials fully managed, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

Why Use Cursor with the FileStack MCP Server

Cursor AI Code Editor provides unique advantages when paired with FileStack through the Model Context Protocol.

Agent mode turns Cursor into an autonomous coding assistant that can read files, run commands, and call MCP tools without switching context

Cursor's Composer feature can generate entire files using real-time data fetched through MCP. no copy-pasting from external dashboards

MCP tools appear alongside built-in tools like file reading and terminal access, creating a unified agentic environment

VS Code extension compatibility means your existing workflow, keybindings, and extensions all work alongside MCP tools

FileStack + Cursor Use Cases

Practical scenarios where Cursor combined with the FileStack MCP Server delivers measurable value.

Code generation with live data: ask Cursor to generate a security report module using live DNS and subdomain data fetched through MCP

Automated documentation: have Cursor query your API's tool schemas and generate TypeScript interfaces or OpenAPI specs automatically

Infrastructure-as-code: Cursor can fetch domain configurations and generate corresponding Terraform or CloudFormation templates

Test scaffolding: ask Cursor to pull real API responses via MCP and generate unit test fixtures from actual data

Example Prompts for FileStack in Cursor

Ready-to-use prompts you can give your Cursor agent to start working with FileStack immediately.

FileStack + Cursor FAQ

Common questions about integrating FileStack MCP Server with Cursor.

What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?

Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.

Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?

Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.

Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?

No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.

How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?

Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
