Every plan works natively in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, Zed & more — full REST API + MCP Server included. The most AI-native YouTube strategy platform.
Up to 5 API keys per account. Cancel anytime.
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.
Cursor natively supports MCP servers. No installation, no dependencies — just paste a config and you're live.
Open Cursor → Settings → MCP → Add new global MCP server.
Copy this JSON to your MCP configuration:
{
"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 from app.nicheking.video/api-keys.
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.
Switch between coding and content creation without losing focus. All your YouTube strategy tools live in your IDE.
Switch between coding and content planning without leaving Cursor. Grab quick title ideas or script snippets whenever inspiration hits.
Generate titles, scripts, and descriptions for multiple videos in parallel. The same AI batch workflows that power the web app work in Cursor too.
Write tutorial scripts with accurate code examples and [B-ROLL] markers. AI knows your technical audience and generates on-brand educational content.
Build custom tools on top of Niche King's API right in your IDE. The same REST API powering the MCP server is available for custom integrations.
Track your video pipeline status and weekly schedule. Check what videos you have planned, which are scripted, and what needs attention.
Pull niche insights, competitor data, and research patterns without switching apps. Full access to your YouTube research and analysis in 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 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.
12 AI tools. Niche research. Content generation. All inside Cursor.
