Cursor config for joinly

docker pull ghcr.io/joinly-ai/joinly:latest
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "joinly": {
      "url": "http://localhost:8000/mcp/",
      "type": "streamable-http"
    }
  }
}

Remote server — no local install needed. Restart the client after saving the config.

Setup steps

  1. 1Open Cursor → Settings → MCP → Add new MCP server (or edit ~/.cursor/mcp.json directly).
  2. 2Paste the joinly config below into the "mcpServers" object.
  3. 3Fill in placeholder secrets, then save.
  4. 4Cursor reloads MCP servers automatically — check Settings → MCP for a green status dot.
  5. 5Ask Cursor to use one of joinly's tools to confirm it's connected.

Before you start

  • Docker (to pull and run ghcr.io/joinly-ai/joinly)
  • A .env file with an LLM provider API key (e.g. OPENAI_API_KEY, or Anthropic/Ollama config)
  • An MCP client to connect to the server (e.g. the joinly-client package via uvx, or a custom client)
  • Optional: NVIDIA Container Toolkit and CUDA >= 12.6 for the GPU image; provider API keys for ElevenLabs/Deepgram if used

Security

Self-hosted and privacy-first. The server itself requires no auth on its local MCP endpoint (default http://localhost:8000/mcp/), so do not expose port 8000 to untrusted networks. Provider API keys (LLM, ElevenLabs, Deepgram, etc.) are supplied via a .env file passed to the container. The agent can speak, send chat, and read transcripts/participants/video in live meetings — treat it as an active meeting participant.

joinly + Cursor FAQ

Where is the Cursor config file?

Cursor reads MCP servers from ~/.cursor/mcp.json. Paste the joinly config there under the "mcpServers" key and restart the client.

Is joinly safe to use with Cursor?

How do I connect to the joinly MCP server?

Start the server with `docker run -p 8000:8000 ghcr.io/joinly-ai/joinly:latest`, then connect an MCP client to the streamable-HTTP endpoint at http://localhost:8000/mcp/. The README recommends the joinly-client package: `uvx joinly-client --joinly-url http://localhost:8000/mcp/ --env-file .env <MeetingUrl>`.

Which meeting platforms are supported?

Google Meet, Zoom, and Microsoft Teams, plus any meeting reachable over a browser.

Which LLM, STT, and TTS providers can I use?

Bring-your-own-LLM (OpenAI, Anthropic/Claude, or local Ollama). STT supports Whisper (local, default) or Deepgram. TTS supports Kokoro (local, default), ElevenLabs, or Deepgram.
