For those people who use MCPs in their cursor, which are the most useful MCPs that have changed the way you work, not to mention filesystem and playwright?

Why do you have the file server mcp? because my curor in yolo mode basicall has all the privs.
however, the DENY_COMMAND list is not heeded…
What filesystem does is that the LLM has access to any local file even if it is outside the project you are working on.

Yeah a very dangerous usage of MCP 
Not sure why an AI would need access outside of project folder, but there is likely another MCP thats more suited.
e.g. if you need DB details use DB MCPs…
hmm - yeah mine already does. Also in Claude you have to allow specific directories for its FS access.
Though i have found some flaws in claude desktop - for when you want to save out a file - it will write the artifact (it used to write directly to FS - now it writes to the Artifact - and then if you ask it to write to file - it attempts to now rewrite the file in the chat window - doubling token cost - rather than using fn known shz like there shoulnt be a COPY - or PUBLISH alone – it should be a new version of ‘copy + publish’ Where you give it a prompt
‘*Now give me a saved version and publish this and give me the test artifact such that I can get a table of the outcomes of the tests - use XYZ rules’
I do this in cursor - I walk cursor througheach chunk of its activity - but I need to have the ability to invoke personas (ive written this, but ive written so much that gets lost in the fact I wrote them in previous subferior models… I have to move on..
Thus far claude4 is my best effort yet as I filed my patent on 5/23 - and am working through updates now… (and forever)
but when the bots have FS access - they can do anything - but you need to speak to them as an engineering mgr
It was a long time aIgo and the bots but I had started judging the outputs of the bot based on how I would manage and talk to highly technical teams. and this is significant ‘intern savant’ level right now.
It ops as intern, with savant coding - but intern mistakes.
Thats the meta DEVOPS DIR level lens we need - I need to speak to my most senior engineers that worked under me - like my best friend who is exec at ntflx - worked with over 20 years… I need the output of the bot to be on par with what I directed him to do over time (youve touched everything hes built)
I have a token compression algo that I am working on and in all theories it works - but I am having data_loss on output I need to solve…
If solved - it might be really cool.
Although – wtf does it mean when it says stuff like this:
Why cancled - and MCPs are missing - as is the VoidTools Everything Search MCP I made – it dropped the
Any time I runn settings it changes my fn keyboard setting where when I his BACK-SLASH I instead get HASH/POUND #

Could you please post such specific bugs that do not address this question in a separate bug report. Happy to suggest possible checks to perform there.
