MCP in Windows solution for cursor

How To
1

Hi,
for all WIN users a solution that “always” work is:

  1. install the latest node.js etc globally
  2. run ex. : npm install -g @agentdeskai/browser-tools-mcp
  3. replace the proposed mcp json under settings → MCP → Add new MCP servers addon with the following structure:

{
“mcpServers”: {
“sequential-thinking”: {
“command”: “node”,
“args”: [
“C:/Users/[username]/AppData/Roaming/npm/node_modules/@modelcontextprotocol/server-sequential-thinking/dist/index.js”
]
}
}
}

  1. add ENV variables etc if needed in the json as options (check for specific instructions for the MCP server)

obv, replace the names of the servers with whatever you want to install. those are just placeholder examples above.

tldr, anyhow I find this always works (if it does not sometimes it is the node.js version problem etc. ). you just run directly the /index.js of the installed mcp server with node. Me personally hand no luck with other approaches including the official cursor / mcp docs.
