Provide a clear description of the bug
Open cursor, then navigate to settings → MCP Tools.
You will not see the new MCP Tools seen in the changelog from the recent release.
Explain how to reproduce the bug (if known)
Use Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS. Download Cursor-1.0.0-x86_64.AppImage and make it executable. Run it.
Attach screenshots or recordings (e.g., .jpg, .png, .mp4).
Tell us your operating system and your Cursor version (e.g., Windows, 0.x.x).
Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS
Cursor-1.0.0
Tell us if the issue stops you from using Cursor.
Nope! But would be nice to have instructions on how to get deep links working too.

Hey, try going to this link and clicking the “Add to Cursor” button. You can also add any other MCP servers to your JSON file.
Thanks for your response!
That would be lovely, but my deep links aren’t working for me on Ubuntu.
It just fails silently when clicking those buttons, hence me seeking out the new UI.

supporting - also the same issue in Ubuntu 24. Even after xdg-open mime-tipes setup, the deeplink from MCP tools cause just new Cursor IDE app open, without any mcp instals
Same problem here. Would love to use MCP servers with Cursor on Ubuntu.
Still having the same issue on Arch
