Leverage Cursor’s powerful new MCP feature with this lightweight Python FastMCP server with a Google Docs agent. You can easily add additioanl agents

What Else Can You Expose?

The power of this setup lies in its flexibility. Beyond Google Docs, the same pattern applies to virtually any API. By dropping new files into your tools/ folder, you can instantly extend your MCP server to support other services - like Airtable, Slack, Jira, etc… or even internal systems. The beauty of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) is that it standardizes how large language models discover and interact with tools. It tells the LLM what functions exist, what parameters they expect, and what kind of output to anticipate - all without hardcoding behavior into the model itself.

installation notes

You'll need to create a mcp.json file with the JSON code below. Path information formatted for MacOS You'll need to adapt for Windows, replace with location of your code and your_user_name

mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gdocs": {
      "command": "/Users/[your_user_name]/Code/Python/Projects/CursorBridgeMCP/.venv/bin/python",
      "args": ["/Users/[your_user_name]/Code/Python/Projects/CursorBridgeMCP/mcpserver.py"],
      "type": "command"
    }
  }
}

on MacOS this file will go in /[your_user_name]/~/.cursor/mcp.json on windows it's in the user's profile .cursor folder these are hidden folders on both OSs
