Can Cursor control all of Aseprite?

The sources establish the capabilities listed above, not complete application coverage. Check each bridge’s limitations and your application version before starting.

Which setup should I use?

Choose a route that explicitly documents Cursor and matches your environment. Start with the maintainer’s setup guide and a disposable project copy. Shared MCP support alone is listed as an inference.
