Can I get direct download links for my videos through the agent?

Yes. The `get_video_source_files` tool allows your agent to retrieve direct MP4 download links and stream URLs for different qualities (like 720p or 1080p), making it easy to share raw files or use them in other applications.

How do I add a video to a specific player?

Use the `attach_video_to_player` tool. You'll need to provide the `player_id` and the `video_id`. Your agent can help you find these IDs by listing your players and videos first.

Can I create new video players through conversation?

Absolutely. The `create_empty_player` tool lets you provision a new player container with a descriptive name. Once created, you can attach videos to it and manage its settings directly through your agent.

Vidyard + Cursor FAQ

Common questions about integrating Vidyard MCP Server with Cursor.

What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?

Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.

Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?

Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.

Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?

No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.

How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?

Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
