Roboflow

What is the Roboflow MCP Server?

Connect Roboflow to your AI agent to streamline your computer vision pipeline. From dataset management to model training and inference, handle your entire CV lifecycle through natural language.

What you can do

  • Workspace & Project Management — List projects, create new ones, or fork from Roboflow Universe to jumpstart your development.
  • Dataset Operations — Upload images (via URL or Base64), manage versions, and download datasets in various formats like COCO or YOLO.
  • Model Training — Start training runs, monitor results, and retrieve precise performance metrics (mAP, precision, recall) for any version.
  • Image Search — Search and filter images within your workspace to audit your data and improve model accuracy.
  • Inference & Results — Run inference on images and retrieve results to verify model behavior in real-time.

How it works

  1. Subscribe to this server
  2. Enter your Roboflow Private API Key
  3. Start building and managing vision models from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client

Who is this for?

  • ML Engineers — monitor training progress and dataset health without leaving the terminal or IDE.
  • Data Scientists — quickly query dataset versions and export data for custom training scripts.
  • Product Teams — audit model performance and visualize inference results through simple conversation.

Why Cursor?

Cursor's Agent mode turns Roboflow into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Roboflow and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 29 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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

01

How can I verify if my Roboflow API key is correctly configured?

You can use the get_root tool. It will attempt to authenticate with your key and return the default workspace details if successful.

02

Can I get the training performance metrics for a specific model version?

Yes! Use the get_training_results tool by providing the workspace, project, and version ID. It returns mAP, precision, recall, and other training metrics.

03

Is it possible to export my dataset to a specific format like YOLOv5?

Absolutely. Use the download_dataset tool and specify the format parameter (e.g., 'yolov5pytorch') to receive a download link for your zipped dataset.

04

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.

05

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.

06

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.

07

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.

08

Tools not appearing in Cursor

Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.

09

Server shows as disconnected

Check Settings → Features → MCP and verify the server status. Try clicking the refresh button.
