Trying to use the new google gws cli tool and cursor blows up a bunch of the registered tools because names are too long? Is that a protocol limitation or cursor?
Hey, this is a Cursor limitation on your side, not an MCP protocol limit. The combined length of the server name plus the tool name can’t be more than 60 characters.
The good news is the server name is just the key in your MCP config, and you can change it. Right now you have google_workspace (16 chars). Try renaming it to something short like gws or even g. The longest tool name in your errors is about 50 characters, so with a short server name everything should stay under 60.
That said, I’ve flagged this to the team. The 60-character limit is too tight for servers like Google Workspace CLI that ship with long tool names by default.
