MCP Server Template for Cursor IDE
A simple template for creating custom tools for Cursor IDE using Model Context Protocol (MCP). Create your own repository from this template, modify the tools, and connect them to your Cursor IDE.
Quick Start
- Click "Deploy to Heroku" button [](https://heroku.com/deploy?template=https://github.com/kirill-markin/weaviate-mcp-server)
- After deployment, configure Cursor: - Open Cursor Settings Features - Add new MCP server - Use your Heroku URL with `/sse` path (e.g., `https://<your-app-name>.herokuapp.com/sse`)
- Test your agent's mood in Cursor: - Ask your agent "Please ask about our server mood and let me know how it is." - The server will respond with a cheerful message and a heart
Alternative Setup Methods
You can run the server in three ways: using Docker, traditional Python setup, or directly in Cursor IDE.
Docker Setup
The project includes Docker support for easy deployment:
- Initial setup:
- Build and run using Docker Compose:
- The server will be available at: - SSE endpoint: http://localhost:8000/sse
- Quick test:
- Connect to Cursor IDE: - Open Cursor Settings Features - Add new MCP server - Type: Select "sse" - URL: Enter `http://localhost:8000/sse`
Traditional Setup
First, install the uv package manager:
Start the server using either stdio (default) or SSE transport:
After installation, you can connect the server directly to Cursor IDE:
- Right-click on the `cursor-run-mcp-server.sh` file in Cursor
- Select "Copy Path" to copy the absolute path
- Open Cursor Settings (gear icon)
- Navigate to Features tab
- Scroll down to "MCP Servers"
- Click "Add new MCP server"
- Fill in the form: - Name: Choose any name (e.g., "my-mcp-server-1") - Type: Select "stdio" (not "sse" because we run the server locally) - Command: Paste the absolute path to `cursor-run-mcp-server.sh` that you copied earlier. For example: `/Users/kirillmarkin/weaviate-mcp-server/cursor-run-mcp-server.sh`
Environment Variables
Available environment variables (can be set in `.env`):
- `MCP_SERVER_PORT` (default: 8000) - Port to run the server on
- `MCP_SERVER_HOST` (default: 0.0.0.0) - Host to bind the server to
- `DEBUG` (default: false) - Enable debug mode
- `MCP_USER_AGENT` - Custom User-Agent for website fetching
