Bring Image Generation
to Cursor
Learn how to connect RenderForm to Cursor and start using 12 AI agent tools in minutes. Fully managed, enterprise secure, and ready to use without writing a single line of code.
What is the RenderForm MCP Server?
Empower your AI agent with the ability to generate high-quality images and PDFs using RenderForm templates. RenderForm provides a powerful REST API for visual automation, allowing you to orchestrate marketing assets, OpenGraph images, and dynamic documents through simple natural language commands.
What you can do
- Image Generation — Render dynamic images for social media or marketing using template components and real-time data.
- PDF Automation — Generate documents and PDFs with custom layouts and dynamic variables programmatically.
- Template Management — List all available templates and retrieve detailed component structures to understand visual possibilities.
- Asset & Project Oversight — Manage fonts, logos, and uploaded assets to ensure consistent branding across all generated content.
- Operational Monitoring — Track system health, monitor render quotas, and retrieve request logs using simple AI commands.
How it works
1. Subscribe to this server
2. Enter your RenderForm API Key from your dashboard
3. Start generating visual content from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Content Marketers — quickly generate varied social media assets without leaving your workspace.
- Developers — integrate automated image rendering into your app workflows without complex media processing logic.
- Ops Teams — streamline the generation of dynamic PDF reports and monitor rendering consumption directly within the chat.

Why Cursor?
Cursor's Agent mode turns RenderForm into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from RenderForm and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 12 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.
- —
Agent mode turns Cursor into an autonomous coding assistant that can read files, run commands, and call MCP tools without switching context
- —
Cursor's Composer feature can generate entire files using real-time data fetched through MCP. no copy-pasting from external dashboards
- —
MCP tools appear alongside built-in tools like file reading and terminal access, creating a unified agentic environment
- —
VS Code extension compatibility means your existing workflow, keybindings, and extensions all work alongside MCP tools

Frequently asked questions
Can my AI automatically find my RenderForm templates?
Yes! Use the list_templates tool. Your agent will respond with complete metadata for all your templates, including their IDs and descriptions in seconds.
How do I get an API key?
Log in to your RenderForm dashboard and navigate to the API Keys tab in your account section to copy your unique secret key.
Can I use dynamic data for my images?
Yes, you can pass a data object to the render_image tool to replace text, images, and colors in your templates programmatically via natural language.
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.
Tools not appearing in Cursor
Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.
