Best Automation & Workflows MCP Servers for Cursor
Top 10 of 10 Automation & Workflows 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.
Setting up MCP servers in Cursor
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.
