What is Cursor Model Context Protocol (MCP) Example?

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open protocol that standardizes how applications provide context to Large Language Models (LLMs). It enables AI assistants to access real-time information, execute specialized functions, and enhance their capabilities beyond their training data. This repository provides example MCP server implementations.

How to use Cursor Model Context Protocol (MCP) Example?

To use an MCP server, navigate to one of the server directories (e.g., example-mcp/mcp-servers/task-manager), install dependencies with npm install, and start the server with npm start. Then, connect the server to Cursor IDE through the settings menu by adding a new MCP server and specifying the transport type (SSE or Stdio) and server URL or command.
