Cursor

Add the server to your Cursor MCP configuration. You can configure it globally (for all projects) or at the project level.

Security

Your MCP configuration file contains sensitive API keys. If you use a project-level config, never commit it to source control. Add .cursor/mcp.json or .mcp.json to your .gitignore.

Global configuration

Open Cursor → Settings → MCP and add the server configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "videoMcp": {
      "command": "video-context-mcp",
      "env": {
        "GEMINI_API_KEY": "your-gemini-key",
        "Z_AI_API_KEY": "your-zai-key",
        "DASHSCOPE_API_KEY": "your-dashscope-key",
        "MOONSHOT_API_KEY": "your-moonshot-key",
        "MIMO_API_KEY": "your-mimo-key",
        "DEEPGRAM_API_KEY": "your-deepgram-key",
        "ASSEMBLYAI_API_KEY": "your-assemblyai-key",
        "GROQ_API_KEY": "your-groq-key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Project-level configuration

Create a .cursor/mcp.json (or .mcp.json) in your project root with the same configuration as above.
