MCP global config , It doesn't take effect on linux

n the Linux version of Cursor, when using the globally configured MCP tool, it was actually tested that it did not take effect after entering the application.

My global config file is ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "server-sequential-thinking": {
            "command": "npx",
            "args": [
                "@modelcontextprotocol/server-sequential-thinking"
            ]
        },
        "fetch_server": {
            "command": "uvx",
            "args": [
                "mcp-server-fetch"
            ]
        }
    }
}

Save this file. I restart my Cursor. look MCP Servers, no servers loading.
my system info:Linux Mint22.1 Cinnamon. my cursor version is 0.46.11.
