You have to really use a real server. As there are many different MCP servers Cursor shows how to configure it but not what to put inside as this depends on what MCP server you want.
i’m to POC to myself what cursor MCP server is.
so i’d like to run a github MCP server or browser MCP server (ones that i get from smithery.ai)
could you provide instructions on how to do it?
if you could do a zoom call with me it’ll be great too. thanks!
Like github MCP server gives you access to Github account.
You install the MCP server or use a remote server like smithery.ai
Then you add the MCP server to your config and in Cursor settings it will show up.
If you see it in the settings but its not active you can activate it. And if its active but it says no tools you may need to press the refresh button there for the MCP server.
In this case it couldnt start the client. hmm there are several threads in the forum about MCP perhaps some are also for github and i have seen several for MCP on windows.. lots of solutions there.
Not working for me as well. This connection previously connected and has stopped connecting with no changes to connection details and cmd still running in background.
I’ve tryied disabling/enabling, refreshing connection and closing cursor client. Not working.
I highly suggest checking the forum there are many detalied threads that resolve such issues. specially with MCP on windows. i remember having seen threads on supabase too.
if you post issues you may need to provide more details for forum members to help you out. Like Cursor MCP log, then the MCP servers internal log why it exited or couldnt be started etc..
Without more detailed info its often hard to suggest solutions as there are really many possible causes.
