AetherWave MCP for Cursor

Cursor is an AI-first code editor with built-in MCP support. Drop one server block into your Cursor MCP config and the editor's agent can generate album art, b-roll, sound, or full tracks as part of whatever you are building.

The AetherWave MCP server exposes 16 generation tools (music via Suno, image generation and editing, video generation, upscaling, background removal, reframing, and audio mastering) as native tools your agent in Cursor can call. No SDK, no per-provider API keys, no polling loops to write. Every generation auto-saves to your AetherWave gallery on Cloudflare R2.

Quick facts

Step 1: Get your API key

Create a free AetherWave account and copy your API key (starts with aw_live_) from the Developer tab on your Profile page. New accounts get free starter credits, so you can test without spending anything.

Step 2: Add AetherWave to Cursor

Add this block to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (or .cursor/mcp.json per project):

Replace aw_live_your_key_here with your real key, save, and reload Cursor.

Step 3: Generate

Restart Cursor and ask it to make something. For example:

Cursor calls aetherwave_generate_music and aetherwave_generate_image in sequence and hands back finished, hosted URLs. You can check your balance any time with aetherwave_balance.

Notes for Cursor

Use a project-level .cursor/mcp.json to scope AetherWave to a single repo, or the global ~/.cursor/mcp.json to make it available everywhere. After saving, reload Cursor and the tools appear in the MCP panel.
