/mcp

Manages MCP servers via an interactive menu: log in, list, view tools.

/mcp opens an interactive menu for managing Model Context Protocol servers in the Cursor CLI (agent). As a slash command, the documented syntax is /mcp [list|list-tools] [identifier]; outside the interactive session, the same functions exist as standalone terminal subcommands: agent mcp list, agent mcp list-tools <identifier>, agent mcp login <identifier>, agent mcp enable <identifier>, and agent mcp disable <identifier>. The configuration lives in mcp.json, project-related under .cursor/mcp.json or globally under ~/.cursor/mcp.json; the CLI uses exactly the same configuration as the Cursor editor and resolves it in the order project before global before nested folders. A server entry defines the connection type (stdio, SSE, or Streamable HTTP), start command, arguments, and environment variables; for OAuth servers, login runs through its own callback flow. enable puts a server on the locally approved list, disable only prevents it from loading or asking for approval — the configuration entry remains. Before every MCP tool call, Cursor asks for confirmation by default, unless a run mode allows this automatically.
