Feature request for product/service

Cursor IDE

Describe the request

Hi Cursor team! :waving_hand:
I’d love to see native support for .mcpb files (MCP Bundles) in Cursor. This is the official format for distributing MCP servers, already supported by Claude Desktop and Claude Code CLI.
What it would enable:
One-click MCP server installation (vs manual JSON config)
Better distribution for MCP developers
Alignment with the MCP ecosystem standard
Current workaround: Users must manually unpack .mcpb files and configure MCP servers in settings.
Proposed: Either double-click installation or cursor mcp install command.
MCPB Info: GitHub - anthropics/mcpb: Desktop Extensions: One-click local MCP server installation in desktop apps
This would be a huge UX improvement for both MCP developers and Cursor users!
