Cursor
Use Social Studio with Cursor
Add the server to Cursor's MCP settings and the agent can generate ideas, import a render and create a draft while you stay in your editor.

Try it
Paste this into Cursor and fill in the blanks:
Use the Creative Tim social tools. First check the requirements for TikTok. Then give me 5 video ideas for <my niche>. For the one I pick, import this video <video URL>, and create a TikTok draft with the caption. Give me the review link.- Step 1
Cursor tells you the draft is waiting and gives you a link.
- Step 2
Open it, review the post, publish.
- Step 3
Posts then show their status (processing, published with a link, or failed with TikTok's own reason) in the Social Studio.
Questions
Can Cursor publish to TikTok for me?
No. Cursor can create a draft with the video and caption and give you a review link. You open it, check the settings TikTok allows for your account, and click Publish. TikTok requires the creator to approve each post, so no agent can do it for you.
Which networks can Cursor prepare posts for?
TikTok, Instagram Reels, Threads and Bluesky. For networks other than TikTok, your own copilot or autopilot setting decides whether a draft waits for your approval or is scheduled directly.
What does it cost?
Posting and drafting are free. Generating ideas or video in Creative Tim uses credits from your plan.
Where does my API key go?
In the client's secret or header settings, never in a prompt. You can create and revoke keys on the API Keys page at any time.
