You can now ask Claude Code or Cursor to record a screen video of a website tour — open a page, scroll, move to the next page, scroll again — and hand you back an MP4. The whole thing runs in a cloud Chrome session. There is nothing to install: no browser on your machine, and no screen-capture app running in the background.

This started as a question — can we clip video from the remote browser instead of the local one? — and turned into a capability we think a lot of people will reach for: a demo/tour video of any live site, driven entirely from the agent you already work in.

Every Model Context Protocol server on the internet is, at the end of the day, a URL. The hard question is which AI tool you're going to plug it into — and the honest answer is that the experience varies wildly depending on which app you live in.

I run MCPBundles, so I see what users actually do after they generate an MCP URL. A lot of them sign up, get the URL, then bounce because the next step — wiring it into the tool they actually use — is unfamiliar territory. Sometimes that's our fault for not making it obvious. Sometimes the tool's setup flow is genuinely awkward. And sometimes the tool literally hides MCP behind a developer toggle that nobody told you to flip.

This is the field report I'd write a friend who asked me, today, "which AI tool should I use if I want MCP to actually work?" Frank, opinionated, with the quirks named.

Here's the thing nobody tells you about Cursor's agent mode: it's brilliant at working with code and completely blind to everything your code talks to.

Last week we were debugging a webhook handler. Cursor had the code open, understood the control flow, spotted a race condition in the retry logic. Genuinely impressive. Then we needed to know whether the bug was actually hitting production — were customers seeing duplicate charges? The agent that just did 15 minutes of sophisticated code analysis couldn't answer a basic factual question about our own Stripe data.

So we opened a browser tab, logged into Stripe, searched for the customer, scrolled through PaymentIntents, compared timestamps manually, went back to Cursor, and typed what we found. The AI had all the context and none of the data.

We got tired of being the copy-paste bridge between our IDE and our dashboards.

MCPBundles has always worked as an MCP server. You add it to Claude Desktop, Cursor, ChatGPT, or any MCP-compatible client, and your AI gets access to Stripe, HubSpot, Postgres, PostHog, Gmail, and every other service you've connected — with real credentials, real permissions, and real data.

The MCPBundles CLI is an alternative way to access those same tools. Instead of configuring MCPBundles as a remote MCP server in your client, you install a command-line tool and authenticate with an API key. The AI agent discovers and calls your tools through shell commands — the same 10,000+ tools, the same credentials, the same workspace permissions.

If you're using Cursor (and honestly, why wouldn't you be), you've probably heard about MCP. It's how you give Claude access to your databases, APIs, and tools right inside the editor.

Here's how to actually set it up.

So we built an integration for Cursor's Cloud Agents API. Not because it was on some roadmap or anything. We did it because Cursor's literally our favorite coding tool and we use it every single day.

Following our prior post on wiring up an MCP server for our Django app — see How We Integrated Model Context Protocol (MCP) into Our Django App — we went back and revisited the architecture. "Too many tools" is still a huge problem for LLM productivity, which has continued into GPT5 and the latest Claude models so probably won't be solved toon. Cursor and Claude both work better when they have fewer tools to choose from, and our original setup exposed too many single-purpose GET tools. So we consolidated everything into a single, strongly-typed batch tool.

The result: one get tool, clearer schema, faster concurrent fetches, and less model confusion.
