Automate image retrieval in Cursor

Let your agent use `search_media` to find specific visual assets for your application. It brings real data into your editor context. Use `get_media_asset` to resolve URLs and embed them into your code. You stop wasting time digging through web interfaces for media links.

Integrate patent data into your workflow

The `search_patents` tool lets your agent query NASA's tech transfer database while you code. It provides real-world data for your R&D projects. You can use the output to document dependencies or research commercial applications. It makes your code documentation much more accurate.

Deep metadata access for developers

Use `get_media_metadata` to pull precise asset details directly into your IDE. This is useful for building automated media pipelines. It gives you the exact field values returned by the API. You can then use those fields to build your application logic.
