Overview

Cursor MCP Installer is an MCP server designed to simplify the installation and configuration of other MCP servers inside Cursor IDE. It exposes three core tools: install_repo_mcp_server to install MCP servers from npm packages or repositories, install_local_mcp_server to install MCP servers from local directories, and add_to_cursor_config to append or update custom MCP server configurations in Cursor. It supports installing from npm packages, Git repositories (including GitHub), and local paths; it includes features to handle path normalization and robust OpenAPI schema detection via the improved path handling described in v0.1.3. The README notes installation methods (npm, npx, or direct from GitHub) and describes how to configure Cursor to run index.mjs as the entry point. Once installed, the Installer appears in the Cursor UI sidebar and can be controlled with Claude prompts such as “Install the web search MCP server” to automate installations. Prerequisites include Node.js and Cursor IDE. The project emphasizes discovery of MCP servers, improved server discovery in local directories, and better error reporting for path-related issues.
