Detailed Installation Instructions

There are two ways to add an MCP server to Cursor and Claude Desktop App:

1. Globally: Available in all of your projects by adding it to the global MCP settings file.
2. Per Project: Available only within a specific project by adding it to the project's MCP settings file.

For Claude Desktop

Global Installation

1. Go to Claude Settings > MCP Servers and click Add Global MCP Server.
2. This will open the ~/.claude/mcp.json file (or you can navigate there manually).
3. Add your MCP server configuration like the following:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cursor-rules-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "cursor-rules-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

For Cursor

Global Installation

1. Go to Cursor Settings > MCP and click Add new global MCP server.
2. This will open the ~/.cursor/mcp.json file.
3. Add your MCP server configuration like the following:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cursor-rules-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "cursor-rules-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}
