Hey, thanks for the report. I see you’ve mentioned this issue in a few places.
Unfortunately, this is a known limitation: MCP approvals for cursor-cli aren’t implemented yet in headless/CI environments.
The --force flag is mentioned in the docs as a workaround, but based on your tests it doesn’t fully bypass MCP approval (you’re still seeing “MCP server has not been approved”).
Current status:
- No workaround for MCP servers in CI right now
- No ETA for this feature
- Your request is noted by the team: [Cursor-CLI] - make MCP servers available for Cursor-CLI in CI environments
