Mcp Servers

Configure team MCP servers in Cursor

Cursor can distribute MCP servers through its default team marketplace and make the same servers available across the agent window, IDE, and CLI. The setup decision includes whether the server is personal or team-managed, which user group may access it, who authenticates, and whether installation is optional, default-on, or required.

Plugins

Build and publish Cursor plugins

Cursor plugins package rules, skills, agents, commands, MCP servers, hooks, and variables into distributable bundles. Developers can choose the portable Agent Plugins format for skills and MCP servers or a Cursor-specific format when the workflow needs Cursor rules, agents, commands, hooks, or variables.

Skills

Package portable skills for Cursor

Cursor supports the Agent Plugins standard alongside its own plugin format, allowing focused skills to travel with MCP server definitions in a portable package. The correct pSEO answer is not just how to create a skill, but when a skill should be an agent-decided capability, a manual command, or a team-distributed project standard.
