Perplexity

Build live-streaming features directly inside Cursor

The `create_stream` tool allows your Cursor agent to spin up live broadcasts while you write the frontend player code. Your agent can immediately retrieve the stream keys and ingest URLs, inserting them directly into your configuration files. To make testing easier, the agent can call `get_stream` to verify the connection status. This eliminates the need to jump back and forth between your code editor and a web console.

Generate functional video player code using this MCP Server

The `get_playback_info` tool fetches the exact playback URLs and stream protocols required for your React or native players. Your Cursor agent uses this live data to write functional, tested video player components instead of relying on placeholder URLs. If you need to support multi-platform streaming, the agent can run `create_multistream_target` to configure destinations like Twitch. It writes the exact integration logic based on live API responses.

Automate asset ingestion and transcode workflows

The `request_asset_upload` tool lets your agent set up direct video upload endpoints while you build the upload UI. Your agent can write the file-handling logic and immediately test it using real upload URLs returned by the server. You can also have the agent call `create_transcode_job` to test your background processing pipelines. It handles the asset lifecycle from `list_assets` to `delete_asset` directly within your workspace terminal.
