In-process MCP support (lm.registerTool)

Feature request for product/service

Cursor IDE

Describe the request

In-process MCP support via similar or identical mechanism as lm.registerTool from vscode (VS Code API | Visual Studio Code Extension API)

It would be significantly easier to publish MCP servers if they could be hosted within an extension without trying to manage a HTTP listen server on a port or spawning a bundled executable.

It would be expected that many MCP tools will be released on the vsode marketplace that Cursor will not be compatible with without this support.

Is this feature coming?

Hey, thanks for the feature request, we’ll consider it.
