}Setup steps
- Install each MCP using the combined config below
- Fill in required env vars for authenticated servers
- Restart your MCP client (Cursor / Claude / VS Code)
- Ask the agent to confirm tools are available
Once set up, try
- Confirm all MCPs in AI content pipeline are connected and list available tools
- Walk me through a first workflow using AI content pipeline
- What env vars do I still need for AI content pipeline?
Share this stack
Set up with your agent
Paste into Cursor, Claude, or any agent that can run multi-step MCP setup.
Install the Averlo stack "AI content pipeline" (YouTube MCP, Firecrawl MCP, Exa MCP, Filesystem MCP, Notion MCP) for Cursor.
1. For each server, read its README if install fails.
2. Merge this combined config:
{
"mcpServers": {
"youtube": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@modelcontextprotocol/server-youtube"
]
},
"firecrawl-mcp": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"firecrawl-mcp"
],
"env": {
"FIRECRAWL_API_KEY": "YOUR_FIRECRAWL_API_KEY"
}
},
"exa": {
"type": "streamable-http",
"url": "https://mcp.exa.ai/mcp"
},
"filesystem": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem",
"/path/to/allowed/dir"
]
},
"notionApi": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@notionhq/notion-mcp-server"
],
"env": {
"NOTION_TOKEN": "YOUR_NOTION_TOKEN"
}
}
}
}
3. Collect any required API keys from the user; do not invent secrets.
4. Smoke-test each server.
