Facilitates the creation of custom tools for the Cursor IDE using the Model Context Protocol (MCP). That is what the server template for cursor ide mcp server brings to an AI assistant: the same capability, reachable through the Model Context Protocol rather than a separate app or dashboard.
A simple template for creating custom tools for Cursor IDE using Model Context Protocol (MCP). Create your own repository from this template, modify the tools, and connect them to your Cursor IDE.
The server publishes 5 tools. What each one is for:
Type — Select "sse"URL — Enter http://localhost:8000/sseName — Choose any name (e.g., "my-mcp-server-1")Command — Paste the absolute path to cursor-run-mcp-server.sh that you copied earlier. For example: /Users/kirillmarkin/weaviate-mcp-server/cursor-run-mcp-serveMCP_USER_AGENT — Custom User-Agent for website fetchingConfiguration is passed through the environment: MCP_SERVER_HOST. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.
@smithery/cli on npm is all you need. Most clients run it directly, so configuration is a few lines and a restart.
This sits in the developer tooling group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Server Template For Cursor IDE's toolset — Type, URL, Name and 2 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by MyBlockcities; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.
