How do I find my Vimeo Access Token?

Create a new app in the [**Vimeo Developer portal**](https://developer.vimeo.com/apps), generate a token with the necessary scopes (public, private, edit, delete), and paste it below.

Can the agent list private videos?

Yes. If your Access Token has the correct scopes, your agent will be able to retrieve both public and private videos from your account.

Is it possible to manage folders via the agent?

Yes. Use the `list_folders` tool to retrieve all project directories, allowing your agent to audit your content library's structure in real-time.

About Vimeo MCP Server

Empower your AI agent to orchestrate your entire video ecosystem on Vimeo, the world's most innovative video platform. By connecting Vimeo to your agent, you transform complex asset management into a natural conversation. Your agent can instantly list your videos, audit project folders, and retrieve performance stats without you ever touching a dashboard. Whether you are a professional filmmaker or a corporate communications lead, your agent acts as a real-time video operator, ensuring your content is always organized and accessible.

Cursor's Agent mode turns Vimeo into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Vimeo and it fetches, processes, and writes — all in a single agentic loop. 10 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.

What you can do

Video Auditing — List all videos in your account and retrieve detailed metadata, including duration, plays, and privacy settings.
Folder Oversight — Browse your project folders to maintain a clear view of your content organization.
Showcase Management — List all showcases (albums) and channels to monitor your public video distribution.
Video Governance — Update video titles, descriptions, and autonomously delete items when they are no longer needed.
Search Intelligence — Query public videos across Vimeo to find inspiration or relevant community content.

Vimeo + Cursor FAQ

Common questions about integrating Vimeo 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.
