Globally Install an MCP

I got an MCP configured on ~/.cursor/mcp.json, and should run locally, for some reason, it is only working on a specific project, and when I open a new window, the MCP disappears from the settings page. Anyone else who encountered this?

To another topic, I am trying to trigger an MCP upon any time that Cursor’s agent attempts to generate code, is there any way this can be done without a “custom rule”? Thanks!

Hey, are you sure you have a global mcp.json? It seems like you have it set up locally for a specific project. Regarding calling mcp directly, you can do this right in the chat by asking specific questions related to your mcp server. More information about how mcp works can be found here:
