How do I use VIDEO AI ME with Cursor?

Last updated:

To use VIDEO AI ME from Cursor, add a videoaime entry to ~/.cursor/mcp.json pointing at https://videoai.me/api/v1/mcp with an Authorization header of Bearer va_live_YOUR_KEY. Create the key at videoai.me/developers on a Pro or Premium plan. Cursor's agent can then make UGC ads, product ads, and explainers, and publish them.

How do I connect Cursor to VIDEO AI ME?

  1. 1.Create an API key

    Log in at videoai.me and open /developers (Developers in the sidebar). Create a key, optionally with a budget cap in dollars so an agent can never overspend, and copy the full va_live_... value immediately: it is shown exactly once. API keys require an active Pro ($99/month) or Premium ($199/month) subscription.

  2. 2.Add the server to mcp.json

    Add the entry below to ~/.cursor/mcp.json for all projects, or to .cursor/mcp.json inside one project. The server is remote streamable HTTP, so only a url and the Authorization header are needed:

    ~/.cursor/mcp.json

    {
  "mcpServers": {
    "videoaime": {
      "url": "https://videoai.me/api/v1/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer va_live_YOUR_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

  3. 3.Enable it and run a skill

    Open Cursor Settings, then MCP, and confirm videoaime shows its tools. In agent mode, ask for a video, for example: "List the video templates, then make a 15 second product ad for this product page". The agent quotes the credit cost before any maker skill runs.

What can Cursor do once connected?

Every skill in the VIDEO AI ME registry: maker skills that generate UGC-style ads, product ads, explainers, and talking-head clips, publishing skills that post and schedule finished videos to your connected social accounts, free discovery skills for templates, actors, voices, and brand memory, and check_run for polling long runs. The full catalog with credit costs and typical durations is on the skill center page, and the REST API equivalent of every tool is described at https://videoai.me/api/v1/openapi.json.

What does access cost?

The API and MCP server are included with the Pro ($99/month) and Premium ($199/month) plans; there is no separate API price. Maker skills spend video credits from the plan's monthly allowance at 1 credit = 1 cent, always quoting the estimate first, and each API key can carry its own budget cap in dollars. Plans and allowances are on the pricing page.

Cursor setup questions

Direct answers about connecting Cursor to VIDEO AI ME.

Where does the VIDEO AI ME server go in Cursor, global or per project?

Either works. ~/.cursor/mcp.json enables the server in every project; .cursor/mcp.json in a repository enables it only there. Per-project is the safer default in shared repositories because the file contains your API key, and keys can be revoked and reissued at any time from the dashboard.

Why does Cursor show an authentication error for videoaime?

Three usual causes: the key was mistyped or truncated (valid keys start with va_live_), the key was revoked, or the subscription lapsed; the API requires an active Pro or Premium plan. Check the key list at videoai.me/developers, create a fresh key if needed, and paste the full value into the Authorization header.

Does connecting Cursor cost anything on top of my subscription?

No. The MCP server and REST API are included with Pro and Premium subscriptions. What costs money is running maker skills: they spend video credits from your monthly allowance at 1 credit = 1 cent, and the agent quotes the estimate before each run. Discovery and publishing skills are free.

Can I cap what a Cursor agent spends per key?

Yes. When creating a key at videoai.me/developers you can set a budget cap in dollars. The key tracks its own spend, and once the cap is reached, maker runs on that key are refused with a key_budget_exceeded error until you raise the cap or switch keys. Your account-level credit allowance still applies on top.

Where do videos made from Cursor end up?

In your VIDEO AI ME account, exactly like videos made in the app. Each run returns a deliverable with the video URL, cost, and timing, and the run history stays visible in your account, so you can review, re-edit, or publish anything the agent made later.
