To install Cursor for Claude Desktop automatically via Smithery:

npx -y @smithery/cli install cursor-mcp-tool --client claude

1. Prerequisites
- Node.js v18 or higher
- Cursor IDE
- Windows 10 or higher

2. Installation

npm install -g mcp-cursor

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/cursor-mcp.git cd cursor-mcp npm install

3. Configuration
- Create a .env file in your project root:

mcp-cursor

npm start

1. Clone and install:
