Why Cursor + Niche King MCP?

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.

Setup in 60 Seconds

Cursor natively supports MCP servers. No installation, no dependencies — just paste a config and you're live.

1

Go to Cursor Settings

Open Cursor → Settings → MCP → Add new global MCP server.

2

Paste the configuration

Copy this JSON to your MCP configuration:

JSON — Hosted Mode
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "niche-king": {
      "url": "https://mcp.nicheking.video/api/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer sk-nk-your-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}
3

Replace the API key placeholder

Replace sk-nk-your-key-here with your actual API key from app.nicheking.video/api-keys.

4

Restart Cursor

Quit and reopen Cursor. All 12 YouTube tools are now available in the MCP tools sidebar. Ask Cursor to generate titles, scripts, research niches, plan content — anything.

Perfect For Developer-Creators

Pull niche insights, competitor data, and research patterns without switching apps. Full access to your YouTube research and analysis in Cursor.

Works Like Any Other MCP Server

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the MCP tools slow down my IDE?

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.

Can I use the same API key in multiple IDEs?

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.

Do I lose anything compared to the web app?

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.

What if I hit my API rate limit?

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.

Can I build my own MCP tools that call the Niche King API?

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.

Does the hosted MCP require installation?

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.

What AI models power the tools?

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.

Can I use Cursor MCP with my existing YouTube channel?

Yes, if you've already set up a project at app.nicheking.video, you can generate an API key and use all your niche research and settings in Cursor. Create your project on the web, then generate the key.
