Integration

Lamina + Cursor

Add Lamina's five MCP tools to Cursor's agent loop — generate, track, evaluate, and distribute media without leaving the editor.

The Lamina + Cursor integration adds Lamina's five MCP tools to Cursor's agent loop. Add the server in Settings → Features → MCP Servers, or edit ~/.cursor/mcp.json. Cursor's agent can then generate, track, evaluate, and distribute media as part of any task — product images, social reels, or campaign banners — without leaving the editor.

What you can do

  • •MCP tools available in Cursor Composer and inline edit
  • •Brand-aware prompts grounded in the brand kit lookup tool
  • •Streaming progress shown inline in the agent transcript
  • •Distribute outputs to Shopify, Sanity, Drive, or any webhook
  • •Use `cursor mcp` CLI to add or remove the Lamina server programmatically

Setup

  1. 1

    Open MCP settings

    Cursor → Settings → Features → MCP Servers → Add Server. Or edit ~/.cursor/mcp.json directly.

  2. 2

    Add the Lamina entry

    Use the same JSON shape as Claude Desktop — command npx, args [-y, @lamina/mcp], env { LAMINA_API_KEY }.

  3. 3

    Reload Cursor

    Cmd+Shift+P → 'Reload Window'. The five Lamina tools will appear in Composer's tool list.

  4. 4

    Use from Composer

    Type a brief: 'generate a hero image for Homestead SS26 sage linen, push to Shopify product gid://...'. Cursor's agent will call lamina.create + lamina.distribute.

Example

~/.cursor/mcp.json

// ~/.cursor/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "lamina": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@lamina/mcp"],
      "env": { "LAMINA_API_KEY": "sk-lm-…" }
    }
  }
}

How it works

Cursor's agent loop discovers MCP tools at startup. Once the Lamina server is added, the five tools appear alongside Cursor's built-in ones (codebase search, terminal, file ops). The Composer agent calls them inline; phase events from a long-running run stream into the transcript so you see queued → composing → rendering → done in real time.

When to use it

Use this integration when your developers live in Cursor and you want generative media to be a one-line tool call from inside any task — building a marketing site, scaffolding a Shopify theme, or prototyping a brand microsite. The agent can chain Lamina with Cursor's filesystem tools to drop generated assets directly into a public/ folder.
