agent mcp list

Lists configured MCP servers and their status (connected/disconnected, source, transport).

agent mcp list is a terminal subcommand of the Cursor CLI and is called directly in the shell. It opens an interactive menu with all configured MCP servers and shows, for each server, name, connection status (connected/disconnected), configuration source (project or global config), and transport method (stdio, HTTP, or SSE). The underlying configuration lives in .cursor/mcp.json (project) or ~/.cursor/mcp.json (global) and, according to the documentation, follows the same structure as in the Cursor IDE. In interactive mode, /mcp list provides the same overview as a pager within the running session, including login, enable, and tool browsing directly from the menu. agent mcp list is thus the terminal variant for use outside a session, for example to check via script which servers are currently reachable before starting a task.
