DevStandards MCP Server

# Cursor AI Setup for DevStandards MCP Server ## Configuration Steps 1. **Open Cursor Settings** - Press `Cmd+,` (macOS) or `Ctrl+,` (Windows/Linux) - Navigate to "Features" → "MCP" or search for "MCP" in settings 2. **Add the MCP Server** In the MCP servers configuration, add: ```json { "devstandards": { "command": "/path-to/devstandards_mcp/devstandards-server", "args": [], "env": {}, "enabled": true } } ``` 3. **Restart Cursor** - Completely quit Cursor (Cmd+Q or File → Quit) - Start Cursor again 4. **Verify Connection** - Open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P) - Type "MCP" and look for MCP-related commands - Check the status bar for MCP connection status ## Troubleshooting ### Server shows green but no tools 1. **Check Cursor Logs** - Open Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P) - Run "Developer: Show Logs" - Look for MCP-related messages 2. **Test the Server Manually** ```bash # In terminal, run: /path/to/devstandards-mcp/devstandards-server ``` Then type: ```json {"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"initialize","params":{"protocolVersion":"2024-11-05","capabilities":{},"clientInfo":{"name":"cursor","version":"1.0"}},"id":1} ``` Press Enter, then type: ```json {"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"tools/list","params":{},"id":2} ``` You should see a list of 4 tools. 3. **Alternative Configuration** If the above doesn't work, try this configuration format: ```json { "mcpServers": [ { "name": "devstandards", "command": "/path/to/devstandards-mcp/devstandards-server", "args": [], "env": {}, "enabled": true } ] } ``` 4. **Check File Permissions** ```bash ls -la /path/to/devstandards-mcp/devstandards-server # Should show -rwxr-xr-x (executable) ``` 5. **Enable Debug Mode** Create a debug wrapper: ```bash #!/bin/bash export DEBUG_MCP=true exec /path/to/devstandards-mcp/devstandards-server ``` Use this wrapper in your Cursor configuration to see debug output. ## Expected Behavior When properly configured, you should be able to: 1. See "devstandards" in the MCP servers list (green status) 2. Use commands like: - "Validate my file against Drupal security standards using devstandards_mcp MCP tool" - "Inspect my module for SQL injection prevention using devstandards_mcp MCP tool" - "List all coding standard categories using devstandards_mcp MCP tool" 3. The AI assistant should have access to 4 tools: - get_standards - search_standards - get_categories - get_standard_by_id ## Known Issues - Cursor may cache MCP server information. A full restart is often required. - Some versions of Cursor may require the server to be in the system PATH. - The MCP integration in Cursor is still evolving, so behavior may vary by version.
