Since last update 1.7.39 - mcps are not working for me

[Dima_Yedunov]

Describe the Bug

playwright + atlassian mcps stopped working since last auto-update in oct 8th

Steps to Reproduce

1. Install version 1.7.39
2. add atlassian + playwright mcps, in mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "playwright": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-playwright"
      ],
      "env": {}
    },
    "mcp-atlassian-api": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-atlassian"
      ],
      "env": {
        "ATLASSIAN_BASE_URL": "https://xxxx.atlassian.net",
        "ATLASSIAN_CLOUD_ID": "xyz",
        "ATLASSIAN_API_TOKEN": "abcd",
        "ATLASSIAN_EMAIL": "[email protected]",
        "NO_COLOR": "1",
        "FORCE_COLOR": "0"
      }
    }
  }
}

Expected Behavior

mcp’s should work - they worked for me before the update, nothing changed in the mcp.json

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Yes - Cursor is unusable

Hey, thanks for the report. Could you try clearing the package cache:

macOS/Linux: ~/.npm/_npx
Windows: %LocalAppData%/npm-cache/_npx

Then restart Cursor.
