How to Use the MediaSilo (Legacy) MCP in Cursor

Q: How does the Cursor agent find specific files using MediaSilo (Legacy)?

The agent uses listfolderassets to crawl specific directories or listassets for global searches. It then parses the returned JSON to locate the exact video file you need.

Write code using real workspace data by connecting MediaSilo (Legacy) directly to your Cursor agent.

Code with live project context in Cursor

The `list_projects` tool lets your editor pull real workspace structures directly into your active coding session by connecting this MCP Server to your workspace. Stop relying on mock payloads when building media workflows. When you need to inspect a specific workspace layout, your Cursor agent runs `get_project` to fetch actual production data. This ensures your code matches the live API structure.

Extract asset schemas using this MCP Server

The `get_asset` tool lets your agent query actual file schemas directly into your editor. Writing custom scripts for video pipelines requires exact asset properties, and this is the fastest way to get them. If you are mapping out folder structures, `list_folder_assets` provides the exact payload of nested files. You will never have to guess the legacy metadata format again.

Verify user permission logic during development

The `list_project_users` tool pulls the active roster of collaborators assigned to a target workspace. Testing access control requires knowing who is in your workspaces, and this tool pulls that data instantly. Your editor can also run `get_current_user` or `list_users` to compare permission profiles. This lets you debug user authentication logic using real account data.

Setup guide

Set up MediaSilo (Legacy) 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".
2

Add the MediaSilo (Legacy) MCP

Cursor will create or open .cursor/mcp.json in your project root. Paste the JSON snippet on the right. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Enable Agent mode

Open Composer (Cmd+I / Ctrl+I) and switch to Agent mode using the dropdown at the top. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode.
4

Verify the connection

Ask Cursor something like "List my recent MediaSilo (Legacy) transactions." If the MCP tools are loaded correctly, Cursor will call the MediaSilo (Legacy) tools automatically. You can also check Settings → MCP for a green status indicator.

.cursor/mcp.json

  "mcpServers": {
    "mediasilo-legacy-mcp": {
      "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"

Common questions about MediaSilo (Legacy) MCP in Cursor

Yes, once you add the server to your configuration, the agent can call tools like `list_assets` autonomously. This allows the editor to write code based on your actual media library data.

Create a configuration file in your project root or global directory and define the server. Once saved, your editor instantly gains access to the 11 legacy endpoints.

No, this toolset is strictly read-only to protect your production media assets. You can query metadata using `get_quicklink` or `list_assets`, but you cannot modify any records.

The agent uses `list_folder_assets` to crawl specific directories or `list_assets` for global searches. It then parses the returned JSON to locate the exact video file you need.

Your API credentials stay local to your machine, and Vinkius handles the MCP connection inside a secure sandbox. Only raw text metadata from tools like `list_projects` is ever processed by your editor.
