Thanks this finally worked for me. I was also having issues with Brave Search but got that fixed by adding the API key to the Brave Search file.

Sequential Thinking Server Setup

  1. Install the package globally:

Copy

npm install -g @modelcontextprotocol/server-sequential-thinking
  1. In Cursor’s MCP configuration, use this command:

Copy

node C:/Users/[YourUsername]/AppData/Roaming/npm/node_modules/@modelcontextprotocol/server-sequential-thinking/dist/index.js

(Replace [YourUsername] with your Windows username)

Brave Search Server Setup

  1. Install the package globally:

Copy

npm install -g @modelcontextprotocol/server-brave-search
  1. You’ll need to modify the server’s index.js file to include your API key:
  • Open this file in a text editor:

Copy

C:/Users/[YourUsername]/AppData/Roaming/npm/node_modules/@modelcontextprotocol/server-brave-search/dist/index.js
  • Add this line before the const BRAVE_API_KEY declaration:

javascript

Copy

process.env.BRAVE_API_KEY = 'YOUR_API_KEY_HERE';
  1. In Cursor’s MCP configuration, use this command:

Copy

node C:/Users/[YourUsername]/AppData/Roaming/npm/node_modules/@modelcontextprotocol/server-brave-search/dist/index.js

Important Notes:

  • Use forward slashes (/) in paths instead of backslashes
  • Don’t use quotes around the paths
  • Avoid spaces in paths
  • If you see flashing terminals, it usually means the server is crashing - check for missing environment variables or incorrect paths

This workaround is particularly useful since Cursor currently has issues handling environment variables through its UI.
