How to Use the MediaSilo MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I add the MediaSilo MCP Server to Cursor?

Create a .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root and define the MediaSilo server commands. Once saved, Cursor's AI agent can immediately call MediaSilo tools like listprojects during your coding sessions.

Q: Can Cursor write code using real MediaSilo asset structures?

Yes, Cursor calls getprojectassets to pull actual MediaSilo asset metadata directly into your editor context. The Cursor AI then writes your frontend or backend code using real MediaSilo file structures instead of mock objects.

Q: How do I debug MediaSilo Quicklink integrations in Cursor?

Ask the Cursor agent to run getquicklink on a specific MediaSilo link ID. The Cursor agent will retrieve the live payload, allowing you to debug your custom player integration without leaving the editor.

Q: Can I search my MediaSilo library from the Cursor terminal?

Yes, you can ask the Cursor agent to run searchassets to find specific MediaSilo files. The Cursor agent returns the MediaSilo asset IDs you need to reference in your configuration files.

Generate code using real MediaSilo asset metadata and project structures directly inside the Cursor editor.

Build apps with live MediaSilo project structures

The `list_projects` tool pulls your active MediaSilo project directories directly into Cursor's AI context. You can write frontend components in Cursor using real MediaSilo project IDs and folder names instead of hardcoding fake placeholder data. Your Cursor agent reads this live MediaSilo structure to generate precise API integrations. This direct integration eliminates the guesswork when mapping MediaSilo project hierarchies to your custom video dashboard in Cursor.

Target specific assets inside Cursor's Composer

The `get_asset` tool fetches the exact schema, dimensions, and metadata of any MediaSilo file directly into your active Cursor code file. You don't have to keep a browser tab open to check if you are targeting the right MediaSilo file ID in Cursor. Cursor uses this real-time MediaSilo asset data to write accurate media-handling code on the fly. This prevents runtime errors caused by mismatched MediaSilo asset formats or outdated file paths in your Cursor codebase.

Automate Quicklink validation in your editor

The `list_quicklinks` tool brings your active MediaSilo sharing links into Cursor to help you write automated testing scripts. You can verify that your Cursor application handles active MediaSilo review links correctly by feeding real API payloads into your test suite. This lets you build custom review portals using Cursor's Agent mode with this MCP Server. The Cursor agent calls `get_quicklink` to verify MediaSilo token expirations while you write the UI code to display them.

Setup guide

Set up MediaSilo 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 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 transactions." If the MCP tools are loaded correctly, Cursor will call the MediaSilo tools automatically. You can also check Settings → MCP for a green status indicator.

.cursor/mcp.json

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