node C:\Users\pat\Desktop\scripts\Python\hmb_tool\mcp-server-sqlite-npx\dist\index.js C:\Users\pat\Desktop\scripts\Python\hmb_tool\src\database.db

After adding the Server, my Windows shell opens and Cursor is open to use the MCP-Server. But if I close the shell, Cursor isn’t able to reastablish the server. Is this how it should work? I don’t like to refresh the server each time I want to query MCP Tools.

No, it shouldn’t work this way.
It seems they’re aware of it.

Other clients open each process headless with no annoying windows to get in the way.
