Runway announced on 11 2 that Runway is now available on Cursor: install a plugin, and Cursor can integrate Runway's APIs into your applications for you. The "For Agents" page on the Runway Dev website explains: each plugin bundles Runway Dev MCP and Runway Dev skills. MCP allows coding agents to read the models available to projects in your account, the price of each model, and acceptable inputs, and to directly create and configure Model Router (e.g., optimizing for latency, capping maximum cost per video) and manage real-time digital humans (Characters); skills teach agents how to write integrations and troubleshoot errors using the official SDK and Runway's recommended methods. In addition to Cursor, the page also lists installation entry points for Codex, Claude Code, and Grok Bot.

Reasoning
- Handing over "reading API docs, selecting models, writing integrations, and debugging" to coding agents, where the agents see the actual models, prices, and parameters in your account, reduces errors caused by following outdated documentation; this is a directly usable tool for developers adding video generation or video editing to their products.
- Official documentation states that the plugin itself does not store API keys, only creates, modifies, or deletes items in your Runway Dev account when you request it, and will not ask for keys in chat.
Usage
- Go to dev.runway.com/agents, select Cursor (or Codex, Claude Code, Grok Bot) to install the Runway Dev plugin; coding agents without the plugin can follow the page instructions to connect MCP separately and then install Runway skills. The plugin is free; content generated via API in your app deducts Runway credits according to each model's price.
Risks
- According to the Runway changelog, Runway MCP was already listed on the Cursor marketplace on 9 23; the new content this time is bundling MCP and skills into a plugin; the changelog has not yet included this entry.
- The plugin can create and modify resources in your account and incur credit consumption; before integration, set budget caps in Runway Dev first.
