Setup

How to connect Mage to Cursor

A Mage account is required; a guest session cannot connect an app.

  1. Install with one click

    Select "Add Mage to Cursor" to install the server with its public OAuth client ID. If Mage is already installed, replace its configuration.

  2. Or add it to mcp.json

    For manual setup, add this entry to ~/.cursor/mcp.json. The client ID is public and needs no secret.

    {
  "mcpServers": {
    "mage": {
      "url": "https://mcp.mage.space/mcp",
      "auth": {
        "CLIENT_ID": "https://cursor.com/mcp",
        "scopes": [
          "mage",
          "offline_access"
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}

  3. Sign in and ask

    Authenticate with your Mage account when prompted, then ask Cursor in Agent mode to generate media for your project.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I use an API key with Cursor instead of OAuth?
Yes. Set the server entry to the URL with headers: { "Authorization": "Bearer ${env:MAGE_API_KEY}" } and keep the key in your environment.
What is the Mage MCP server?
A remote Model Context Protocol server at https://mcp.mage.space/mcp that lets AI assistants generate images, video, and audio on your Mage account. It gives the assistant 16 tools to pick a model, quote the price, generate, wait for the result, and use your saved characters, references, and history.
Do I need an API key to use the MCP server?
No. Claude, ChatGPT, Grok, Cursor, and Claude Code connect by signing in to Mage through OAuth. An API key is optional, for headless setups such as CI.
How much does it cost?
Connecting is free, and the account needs one successful payment first, any Gem pack or plan; signup bonus Gems work in the Mage app only. Each generation your assistant starts is paid in Gems from your Mage account at the model’s listed price, and your assistant can quote the price with estimate_cost before it starts.
Which models does my assistant use?
Unless you name a model, your assistant makes images with Mango 4, video with Cherry 2 Pro, and audio with Seed Audio. You can ask for any other Mage model by name.
Is it safe to connect my Mage account?
Mage shows the app’s name, its site, and where you return before anything is shared, and you approve each connection. Disconnect any app at any time from MCP → Connected apps.
