A coding agent plugin that brings Cloudinary's media management capabilities directly into your coding workflow. It connects your AI coding agent to Cloudinary's MCP servers and provides a documentation skill so you can get accurate, up-to-date answers about Cloudinary APIs without leaving your editor.
Five Cloudinary MCP servers are pre-configured:
| Server | Description |
|---|---|
cloudinary-asset-mgmt |
Upload, manage, and transform media assets |
cloudinary-env-config |
Configure your Cloudinary environment settings |
cloudinary-smd |
Work with structured metadata on assets |
cloudinary-analysis |
Analyze images and videos with AI |
cloudinary-mediaflows |
Build and run automated media workflows |
Auth: The first four servers use OAuth2 — you'll be prompted to log in with your Cloudinary account on first use via Cursor or Claude. The
cloudinary-mediaflowsserver requires your Cloudinary credentials (cloud_name,api_key,api_secret) to be set in the headers inmcp.json.
Two skills are included to give the agent deep Cloudinary knowledge:
| Skill | Directory | Description |
|---|---|---|
| cloudinary-docs | skills/cloudinary-docs/ |
Answers Cloudinary questions by fetching live documentation from cloudinary.com/documentation/llms.txt, ensuring accurate and up-to-date responses with real code examples. |
| cloudinary-transformations | skills/cloudinary-transformations/ |
Creates and debugs Cloudinary transformation URLs from natural language. Covers resize/crop, generative AI effects, video transformations, overlays, named transformations, and cost optimization — with a built-in validation checklist and debugging guide. |
- Copy the contents of
mcp.jsoninto your project's.cursor/mcp.json(create the file if it doesn't exist). - Copy the
skills/directory into your project root. - In
.cursor/rules/, create one rule file per skill — each pointing to itsSKILL.md. Cursor will use the rule description to decide when to invoke the skill. - For
cloudinary-mediaflows, replaceYOUR_CLOUD_NAME,YOUR_API_KEY, andYOUR_API_SECRETinmcp.jsonwith your Cloudinary credentials (found in the Cloudinary Console). - On first use, approve the OAuth login prompt that Cursor shows for the other four MCP servers.
- Run:
claude --plugin-dir /path/to/cloudinary-plugin - For
cloudinary-mediaflows, replace the credential placeholders inmcp.jsonbefore starting. - On first use, complete the OAuth login for the other four MCP servers.
Once installed, ask your agent anything about Cloudinary — uploads, transformations, metadata, analysis, and more. The agent will automatically use the right skill and MCP server for the job.

- "Remove the background from my product photo and replace it with a white padded square at 1000x1000"
- "Debug this Cloudinary URL — it's not cropping correctly: [URL]"
- "How do I set up the Cloudinary Node.js SDK in my Express app?"
- "List all images in my account uploaded in the last 7 days"
