# How to Restart MCP Server in Cursor ## Quick Method: Restart Cursor IDE The easiest way to restart the MCP server is to restart Cursor IDE: 1. **Close Cursor completely:** - Click `File → Exit` (or press `Alt+F4`) - Make sure all Cursor windows are closed - Check Task Manager to ensure no Cursor processes are running 2. **Reopen Cursor:** - Launch Cursor from your Start menu or desktop shortcut - Wait for it to fully load 3. **Verify MCP Server is Running:** - The MCP server will automatically start when Cursor loads - Try using an MCP tool to verify it's working ## Alternative: Reload Window (May Work) If you want to try without fully restarting: 1. Press `Ctrl+Shift+P` to open Command Palette 2. Type: `Developer: Reload Window` 3. Press Enter **Note:** This may not always reload MCP servers, so a full restart is more reliable. ## Verify MCP Server is Working After restarting, test the MCP server: 1. Open Cursor Chat (`Ctrl+L`) 2. Ask: "List repositories in the YourProject project" 3. If it works, the MCP server has restarted successfully! ## Troubleshooting If the MCP server still doesn't work after restarting: 1. **Check MCP Configuration:** - Settings → Features → Model Context Protocol - Verify the server path is correct: `C:\\path\\to\\mcp-ado\server.js` 2. **Check Node.js:** - Open terminal in Cursor - Run: `node --version` (should be 18+) 3. **Check Server File:** - Verify `C:\\path\\to\\mcp-ado\server.js` exists - Verify the file was saved with your changes 4. **Check Output Logs:** - View → Output - Look for MCP-related errors
