CueAlign runs as a hosted MCP server, so you don't set it up — your agent does. Copy the prompt below into your AI assistant. It has everything the agent needs to connect itself and walk you through the rest.
Connect me to the CueAlign cloud MCP server (it aligns, splits, translates & QC-checks subtitles to broadcast standards). It's hosted — nothing to install. URL: https://mcp.cuealign.com/mcp Auth: OAuth — a browser sign-in opens, no key to copy; or a Bearer API key if you're headless. Add it to my MCP client (or tell me exactly where to paste it), complete the sign-in, then list your CueAlign tools and suggest a first task. Full setup + options: https://mcp.cuealign.com/connect.txt
That's the whole job for you. Your agent knows which client it's running in, so it handles adding the server and picks the right sign-in path — you just approve once in the browser when it asks.
Add this to your MCP client (Claude Desktop → Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector; Cursor → Settings → MCP → Add server → HTTP):
https://mcp.cuealign.com/mcp
The client opens a CueAlign page in your browser — sign in, click Allow. From then on it works with no key. (The raw URL returns 401 invalid_token in a plain browser — that's the sign-in challenge, not a fault.)
For CI or clients without OAuth: create a key in your account and pass it as a bearer header on the same URL.
claude mcp add --transport http cuealign https://mcp.cuealign.com/mcp \ --header "Authorization: Bearer cua_live_your_key_here"
Every request is billed to your CueAlign balance. You can revoke a connected agent anytime from your account.
