How to connect File Studio to Cursor

Step by step

1. 1

   Open AI integrations in File Studio

   Launch File Studio and open AI integrations. Cursor shows as Detected if it is installed.

2. 2

   Click Connect next to Cursor

   File Studio adds itself to Cursor's MCP configuration. Nothing else in your Cursor settings changes.

3. 3

   Restart Cursor and check MCP settings

   Reopen Cursor and look under Settings, MCP. You should see filestudio listed with its tools enabled.

4. 4

   Ask the agent to process files

   For example: "Convert every PNG in public/images to WebP at 80% quality." The agent calls File Studio, which writes the new files next to the originals.

Manual setup

Manual setup: add the JSON below to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (global) or .cursor/mcp.json in a project, then restart Cursor.

Manual setup needs the filestudio command on your PATH. Install it from AI integrations, under Command line.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "filestudio": {
      "command": "filestudio",
      "args": ["mcp"]
    }
  }
}
