Describe the Bug

Hey guys! I just signed up for the Pro version, and I am following Dr. Alex Young on YouTube on setting up my Cursor. For some reason, I don’t have a drop down option for MCP in my Cursor Settings. How can I get that to show in my Cursor IDE?

Go to Cursor Settings and what I see is only: General, Models, Features, and Beta
