Best MCP Servers for Cursor
Top 20 of 117 MCP servers that work with Cursor, ranked by security score — every entry below is human-reviewed, not just scraped. Every row has a one-click config for Cursor — no need to open each page.
Cursor supports MCP at two levels: a project config (.cursor/mcp.json, checked into the repo and shared with your team) and a global config (~/.cursor/mcp.json, available in every project). Both use the same mcpServers format, so a server can move from personal to shared with a copy-paste.
Cursor also has a Settings panel (Settings → MCP) that lists every configured server and whether it started successfully, which is the fastest way to confirm a new entry is actually working before you rely on it mid-task.

MCP + Cursor: frequently asked questions
›How do I add an MCP server to Cursor?
Add an entry under "mcpServers" in .cursor/mcp.json (project-only) or ~/.cursor/mcp.json (all projects), then reload Cursor.
›What's the difference between project and global MCP config in Cursor?
.cursor/mcp.json in a repo only applies there and can be committed for a team; ~/.cursor/mcp.json applies to every project you open.
›How do I check if an MCP server is actually running in Cursor?
Open Settings → MCP — it lists each configured server with its live status, so you can catch a broken command before you start relying on it.
›Do I need to restart Cursor after editing mcp.json?
A reload is enough — no full quit-and-reopen required.
