2. Add MCP Server

   • Search for: "Manage MCP Servers"
   • Select "Add MCP Server"

3. Choose Configuration Type

   • Select "Local Command" type

4. Configure Server

   • Name: docs_mcp
   • Command: python
   • Args: /Users/ashutoshgupta/Documents/mcp_server/mcp_server.py

5. Verification

   • Cursor will auto-detect and list get_doc as an available tool

⚙️ Claude Integration

1. Navigate to Settings

   • Open Claude → Settings → MCP Servers

2. Add New Server

   • Name: docs_mcp
   • Command: python
   • Args: /Users/ashutoshgupta/Documents/mcp_server/mcp_server.py

3. Available Tools

   • Claude will automatically detect and display the following tools:
     • get_doc
     • list_docs

▶️ Running the Server

To start the MCP server manually:

python mcp_server.py

📝 Notes

• Make sure to update the file path in the Args field to match your actual mcp_server.py location
• The server must be running for the tools to be available in Cursor and Claude
• Both integrations use the same server configuration

🔧 Troubleshooting

If the tools are not appearing:

• Verify the file path is correct
• Ensure Python is in your system PATH
• Check that fastmcp is properly installed
• Restart Cursor or Claude after adding the server
