 Cloudinary · upstream description ↗ Our analysis follows below.

01 / THE REASONING

## Why this made the selection.

 - Provides media-specific search, organization and transformation operations from a single reviewed endpoint.
- OAuth connects the client to a chosen Cloudinary product environment without copying API secrets into the basic setup.

### A good fit for

 - Find and organize a media library.
- Generate transformation URLs or approved derived assets.

### Weigh up before choosing

 - Asset tools can upload, rename or delete media; grant access only to the intended cloud.
- Environment configuration, structured metadata, Analysis and MediaFlows are separate servers with different capabilities or authentication.
- Use the current /mcp endpoint; older /sse configurations are deprecated for Asset Management.

02 / THE REVIEW RECORD

## What we actually inspected.

Source review has boundaries. A clear record is more useful than a “safe” badge.

### Material inspected

 - Cloudinary’s current server inventory, remote authentication guidance and Asset Management Cursor configuration link.

### Our findings

 - The Asset Management entry includes transformation tools as well as upload/search/delete/rename operations.
- Remote /mcp uses stateless Streamable HTTP and OAuth; implementation language and server licence are not established by the setup page.

### Not established by this review

 - Server launch, authenticated tool calls, and release-to-source parity were not tested.

The review applies to the material and revision named here. A newer upstream release can change its behavior.

03 / PUT IT TO WORK

## Connect a server deliberately.

Upstream setup instructions ↗
 - Use the Asset Management one-click link or the documented remote URL in your client’s MCP settings.
- Finish OAuth and select the intended Cloudinary product environment.
- The JSON uses Cursor’s mcpServers layout; follow the client-specific guide for other hosts.

### Before you start

 - A Cloudinary account and access to the chosen product environment.
- An OAuth-capable remote MCP client.

### Documented configuration example

Use the client and authentication context described in the setup guidance. Configuration formats vary between hosts.

 {
 "mcpServers": {
 "cloudinary-asset-mgmt": {
 "url": "https://asset-management.mcp.cloudinary.com/mcp"
 }
 }
} Copy configuration ↗

### Compatibility

Cursor · Claude Code · Claude Desktop · Codex

### Transports

Streamable HTTP

### Remote OAuth

 - Reads media-library data and can upload, rename, delete or derive assets.
- Returns asset information and URLs to the connected client.

### Cost model

Cloudinary storage, delivery and transformation usage follow the account plan; the AI client is separate.

04 / FOLLOW THE EVIDENCE
