Click on "Deploy Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@claude-cursor-mcp read the current active file"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
Lets Claude.ai talk directly to your Cursor editor — read files, write code, get selections, and more.
⭐ If this actually worked for you, drop a star — it helps more people find it!
💬 Heads up — I vibe coded this whole thing, so if something's broken or you need help setting it up, just ask Claude lol

The extension runs a local TCP server on port 9877. The Python MCP server connects Claude.ai to this socket, translating MCP tool calls into editor commands.
