Yes that seems to be new. follow

Oh alright, thank for the heads-up! Got a little confused - expecting the UI to show.

yeah me too.. however note that the global file applies to all projects where the project file applies to a single project. If global doesnt work try project.

Right, thanks for your input :+1:

Is there a way to get the window UI back?

Hello @tomashrdlicka
For the moment, you’ll need to downgrade from the latest version 0.47 to 0.46.
Hopefully, the cursor team is investigating this issue.

What should be the format when we need to enter more than one MCP server?

Hey, here you can find examples:

Yeah this update is for 0.47. I have rolled back to 0.46 which is much easier to add mcp’s.

Cursor you need to bring this back so it easy. The new way isn’t working.

I have tried to add an mcp server manually, in the global mcp.json file, following the format described in the Example Servers page, but Cursor does not seem to recognize it. At least, it is not listed in the MCP area within the Cursor settings, though I can see it listed in the mcp.json file.

Could you show your mcp.json file?

Hi @deanrie - Below is what I had. I have since reverted to version 0.46.11 and was able to install the MCP.

// This example demonstrated an MCP server using the stdio format
// Cursor automatically runs this process for you
// This uses a Node.js server, ran with `npx`
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "browser-tools": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@agentdeskai/[email protected]"]
    }
  }
}

It’s strange because this should work.

15

Same problem, then the mcp.json file only recognizes one import.

16

I’m experiencing the same issues. I’m on 0.47.8 Does anyone know when this will be fixed?

17

Any updates on this? Been experiecing it for weeks.

UPDATE - I spoke to Cursor support

Just in case any other newbies like myself are reading this and encountering this issue–this is supposed to happen now, apparently.

The docs are still quite limited, but you simply split the terminal command in the .json file.

For example, if an MCP server says to run the command npx @agentdeskai/browser-tools-mcp@latest, you might have:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "give-a-nickname-here": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@agentdeskai/browser-tools-mcp@latest"]
    }
  }
}

Then make sure this is saved to a project/global, etc, just as the official documentation already points out.
