How to Use the Hive AI MCP in Cursor
Let Cursor Agent test Hive AI moderation pipelines and detect synthetic media while you write code.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Hive AI MCP to Cursor
Create your Vinkius account to connect Hive AI 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.
Test moderation code with live data.
Building a trust and safety pipeline requires real API responses. Cursor Agent uses this MCP server to hit `moderate_text` while you write the implementation details. You stop guessing what the JSON response looks like. Cursor writes your error handling and data parsing based on actual Hive API payloads.
Detect AI content from your editor.
You need to know if a text block was generated by an LLM. Cursor runs `detect_ai_generated_text` on sample data right in your editor to verify the detection logic. Same goes for visual assets. Feed a URL to `detect_ai_generated_image` and Cursor builds the exact parsing logic you need for that specific response shape.
Query project details via MCP Server.
You forget which models your account has access to. Tell Cursor to run `list_available_models` or `get_project_details` to check your current configuration. The agent pulls your active settings into the chat. You map the correct model names into your source code without opening browser tabs or digging through documentation.
