Configuration for Cursor IDE

Add this server to your Cursor MCP settings:

1. Open Cursor Settings

2. Navigate to the MCP section

3. Add a new server with this configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "aws-advisor": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": [
        "--directory",
        "/Users/antonioschaffert/workspace/tony/my-dev-mcp",
        "run",
        "python",
        "src/aws_advisor_server.py"
      ]
    }
  }
}
