Cursor OBS Studio integration

Connect OBS scenes, sources, audio and recording through its official WebSocket API or community MCP bridges. For Cursor, 1 route is explicitly documented by the integration maintainer.

Connection options for Cursor

API · Live app

OBS WebSocket API

The official remote-control API, usable by a custom script or agent bridge.

Platforms: Windows, macOS, Linux

Cursor · Not documented

A custom client script or bridge is required; agent-specific setup is not listed.

Requirements and limitations

OBS with WebSocket enabled, authenticated connection, and a separate client script or bridge.

This is a WebSocket API. Connecting an AI agent requires a client script or an additional MCP bridge.

MCP · Live app

OBS MCP · Node bridge

A Node.js MCP bridge maps OBS WebSocket operations to agent-callable tools.

Platforms: See documentation

Cursor · MCP compatible

MCP transport compatibility is inferred; this agent is not explicitly documented for this connection.

Requirements and limitations

OBS Studio with WebSocket enabled and the Node.js bridge configured with connection credentials.

Requires a reachable OBS WebSocket server; it does not replace OBS or configure streaming service accounts.

MCP · Live app

OBS MCP · Python bridge

A Python MCP server connects scene, source, audio and output controls to OBS WebSocket.

Platforms: Windows, macOS, Linux

Cursor · Documented

The maintainer documents Cursor setup for this connection.

Requirements and limitations

Python 3.10+ and OBS Studio 28+ with WebSocket v5 enabled and connection settings configured.

The WebSocket connection must be active. Output availability depends on the OBS configuration and installed sources.

Can Cursor control all of OBS Studio?

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.
