drophost
Publish a file from Cursor with drophost
- Streamable HTTP MCP
- publish_file tool
- Same plan limits as dashboard
How to do it
1. Create an API key
Open Settings, create a key, and copy it once.
2. Add drophost MCP in Cursor
Use /api/mcp with Authorization: Bearer and Streamable HTTP.
3. Ask Cursor to publish
Call publish_file with the filename and bytes. Copy the returned URL.
Connect once
Paste the MCP URL and Bearer header into Cursor. The key is shown once when you create it.
Publish from chat
Ask the agent to publish a local file. You get the same kind of live URL as a browser upload. Plan limits still apply.
Publish from Cursor without leaving the editor
Point Cursor at drophost MCP on /api/mcp with a hashed API key, then call publish_file. Free supports Word, text, Markdown, CSV, images, and HTML within 2 MB on one project. Recipients open the link with no account, and replacing the file keeps the Cursor-shared URL unchanged.
Cursor → live URL workflow limits
MCP oneshot uploads on drophost cap at 4 MB. Starter at €5/mo unlocks PDF, passwords, custom domains, and 100 MB across 8 projects. Replace the file later to keep the same shared URL. Pro at €12/mo scales to 500 MB and 30 projects for heavier agent publish queues.
