Post to YouTube from Cursor.
Connect Cursor to xpost once, and you can ask it for a YouTube post — written in the shape YouTube takes, waiting in your queue until you approve it.
Your first post is free. No credit card.

What Cursor can make for YouTube
The same limits the composer checks, so a draft your assistant writes is one YouTube will actually take.
| Post types | Video, Short |
|---|---|
| Pictures and video | 1 video, with a title of up to 100 characters |
| Caption length | Up to 5000 characters, counted as you type |

Questions people ask
Yes. Connect Cursor to xpost and it can write, schedule and publish YouTube posts for your account. It cannot publish on its own — every post it creates waits in your approval queue until you approve it.
