Cursor can cut your video.
The animation is built from the same context as the code it is going to sit next to — the type, the colours, the product it shows.
Setup takes a minute: add the server, then pair with the code in the editor header. After that Cursor has all 59 tools.
Setup
Add Frapea to Cursor
- 1
Add the server
Settings → MCP → Add new global MCP server writes~/.cursor/mcp.json. A project-scoped.cursor/mcp.jsonworks too and travels with the repository.~/.cursor/mcp.json{ "mcpServers": { "frapea": { "url": "https://app.frapea.com/mcp" } } }
Then, the same for every client
Pair Cursor with the editor
- 1Open the editor and click Connect an agent in the header. It shows an eight-character code.
- 2Paste the whole line into Cursor — the sentence, not just the code. It tells the agent which tool to call.
- 3Good for ten minutes, and once. If it has expired, read a fresh one.
Nothing to sign up for, and no API key on either side. The endpoint is https://app.frapea.com/mcp.
When it doesn't take
Two things go wrong, and it is almost always one of them.
1Frapea is not in Settings → MCP
Cursor reads
mcp.json at startup. Reload the window, and check you edited the file for the project you actually have open.2It appears but errors on connect
Check the shape of the entry. Cursor is happy with a bare
url for a remote server; if you pasted a config written for another client it may carry keys Cursor does not expect.What you just handed it
59 tools, and one of them is looking at the result.
Cursor now has the whole editor: it cuts, captions, sources footage it does not have, writes the titles as code, and renders frames back to itself to check the work before it says it is finished.

Using something else?
Any client that speaks MCP can drive Frapea. These are written out.
