How to Use the Wistia MCP in Cursor

Q: How does Cursor use the Wistia MCP Server?

You configure it by adding the server to your .cursor/mcp.json file. Then, in Agent mode, the AI calls the tools and streams live data directly into the code you're writing.

Q: If I delete a Wistia project using Cursor, what happens?

Calling deletewistiaproject is permanent. The agent handles this irreversible action when instructed by your code, so confirm the scope first.

Q: Can I pull multiple Wistia metrics into my codebase using Cursor?

Yes. You can use getmediadetails for specific assets and combine that with project listing tools (listwistiaprojects) to build a comprehensive data model in your code.

Write code that talks to Wistia video assets using Cursor's Agent mode and MCP Server.

Perplexity

Incorporate Live Analytics into Code

Don't use fake data anymore. Use the agent in Cursor to call `get_engagement_statistics` and inject real viewer metrics right into your function body. The AI generates working code that relies on live API responses. This is huge for building dashboards or reporting scripts because you get actual Wistia performance numbers, not stubs.

Manage Media Assets in Code

Need to write a function that updates video details? The `update_media_metadata` tool lets the AI call this and pass the hashed ID and new JSON attributes directly into your code. It's clean, typed development. You can also use `list_wistia_medias` to build loops that process every single asset in your Wistia account.

Programmatic Project Creation

Building an automated pipeline? Use the `create_new_project` tool call within your script. The agent handles structuring the project and gives you the ID needed for subsequent calls, like uploading a video via `upload_video_via_url`. This makes setting up new Wistia content folders purely programmatic.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

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