Global MCP Config Error

Describe the Bug

Hey,

I don’t know how this happened. All I did (as far as I know) for this to happen was replace my mcp.json file in /.cursor for my project. Maybe I screwed up because I didn’t do it through the menu?

As for the mcpServers must be an object error I have no clue. Even after I fixed the syntax issue the message remains the same.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Replace mcp.json file with new one with new rules.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue
