GUI dialog for adding MCP servers in 0.48

[lbaron42]

Hey Cursor team

I’ve been following a tutorial on how to set up MCP servers, and I noticed that the GUI dialog for adding MCP servers (with Name, Type, and Command) seems to be gone in the latest version. Instead, we’re asked to manually create a .cursor/mcp.json file.

While I understand the benefits of config-as-code for advanced users or teams, the modal GUI was super helpful for onboarding, testing things out quickly, and following tutorials. Right now, it feels like a bit of a downgrade — especially when the docs and videos still reference the old UI.

Would you consider bringing that GUI option back (maybe as a toggle in settings)? Or at least adding a note in the UI to help new users understand how to manually create the file?

Thanks for all the great work — really love where Cursor is going overall!

Would you mind changing the heading into english?

There are threads that discussed already this and the Cursor team is aware.

Would you mind not to create new posts for known items? I assume you didnt take time to check the forum

Thanks for pointing that out — I hadn’t realized the title ended up in Russian, but the post is entirely in English and was meant to be helpful.

I did search the forum but may have missed where the team confirmed this was already addressed. Either way, I’ll be more careful next time.

Just a friendly reminder: tone matters. We’re all here to help and learn.
