FAQ from Cursor & Claude Think MCP
Why isn't the tool working?
Why isn't the tool working?
Ensure Cursor has been restarted after installation, Node.js is installed, the MCP configuration path is correct, and the script is executable (if applicable). Check the Cursor Developer Console for errors.
What are the prerequisites?
What are the prerequisites?
Node.js (v14.0.0 or higher), Cursor (v0.9.0 or higher), and a basic understanding of terminal commands.
What does the 'think' prefix do?
What does the 'think' prefix do?
It signals the tool to format the user's question with special <thinking> tags, which instruct Claude to enter explicit reasoning mode.
Is my data secure?
Is my data secure?
The tool runs locally, doesn't access or transmit sensitive information, and only processes the text you send to Claude.
How does it technically work?
How does it technically work?
This tool uses the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to intercept messages starting with 'think', format them with <thinking> tags, and send them to Claude. Claude then recognizes these tags and shows its reasoning.
