12 AI-powered YouTube tools inside your Cursor IDE. Research niches, generate scripts, plan content, all while you code. Built on the Model Context Protocol.
Switch between coding and YouTube strategy without leaving your editor. All your niche research, video planning, and content generation tools in one place.
No separate API pricing. Subscribe to any plan, generate your API key, and connect instantly.
Niche King is a strategy and AI content tools platform. We do not film, edit, or upload videos on your behalf.
Cursor is the only IDE that natively supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP). The Niche King MCP server gives you direct access to 12 YouTube strategy tools right in your editor, no context switching, no manual API calls.
Perfect for developer-creators. You can research your YouTube niche, generate titles and scripts, plan your content calendar, analyze competitors, all without leaving your IDE. Then get back to coding.
The MCP server uses your actual niche research data, voice samples, and custom rules, so every title, script, and description is tailored to your audience, not generic templates.
No API keys. No config files. Works the same way in Claude Desktop and Windsurf.
app.nicheking.video/api/mcpClick "Add new global MCP server" and paste the URL from Step 1.
Niche King redirects to a permission screen. Review the access, click Allow. All 12 tools become available in Cursor's MCP sidebar. Try saying "meet my channel".

For environments where OAuth isn't available, or if you prefer the manual flow. Generate an API key at app.nicheking.video/integrations first.
Open Cursor → Settings → MCP → Add new global MCP server, then paste this JSON:
{
"mcpServers": {
"niche-king": {
"url": "https://mcp.nicheking.video/api/mcp",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer sk-nk-your-key-here"
}
}
}
}Replace sk-nk-your-key-here with your actual API key, then restart Cursor.

The Niche King MCP server is a standard HTTP-based MCP implementation. You configure it exactly like you would any other MCP server, Cursor reads from your config file and loads the tools natively.
All communication goes through Cursor's secure MCP protocol. Your API key is sent only to the Niche King API server over HTTPS. Cursor never sees your API key, and the server has no direct access to your Cursor workspace.
You can use the same MCP configuration across Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, and Windsurf, all your AI tools support the same MCP protocol.
No. MCP tools load on-demand, they only consume resources when you actually use them. Cursor's MCP implementation is highly optimized for IDE performance. You can type and code normally; the YouTube tools sit quietly in the sidebar.
Yes. One API key works everywhere, Cursor, Claude Desktop, Windsurf, Claude Code, or any HTTP client. Just paste the same config with your API key into each client.
The MCP tools have full feature parity with the web app's AI generation tools. You can generate titles, scripts, thumbnails, descriptions, and more. The main difference is Cursor is text-focused, thumbnail editing and emotion photo management are web-app only.
Your plan includes 500-5,000 API calls/day depending on tier. If you hit your daily limit, you can generate more calls by upgrading your plan or waiting until the limit resets at midnight UTC.
Absolutely. The REST API documentation is fully open at /developers. You can build custom MCP servers, Zapier workflows, Make.com scenarios, or any HTTP-capable platform using the same endpoints.
Zero installation. The hosted mode is a remote HTTP endpoint, Cursor connects to it over the internet. No npm packages, no local dependencies. Just copy the JSON config.
All text generation uses Claude Sonnet (Anthropic). Thumbnail images use Google Gemini. Content grading uses Claude Haiku. Your niche research data is the secret, it trains every generation to match your audience.
Yes, if you've already set up a channel at app.nicheking.video, you can generate an API key and use all your niche research and settings in Cursor. Create your channel on the web, then generate the key.
12 AI tools. Niche research. Content generation. All inside Cursor.
