10 MCP servers

MCP servers for Cursor

Cursor reads MCP servers from an mcpServers object in ~/.cursor/mcp.json (every project) or .cursor/mcp.json in a project root (that project only). Add the entry below under that key, or paste the equivalent into Settings then MCP then Add new MCP Server. Entries with a url are hosted; everything else spawns a local process with command/args.
