WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:02.910 Now there is one other feature 2 00:00:02.910 --> 00:00:06.180 supported by Cursor, which is worth mentioning here, 3 00:00:06.180 --> 00:00:09.090 and that's the MCP feature, 4 00:00:09.090 --> 00:00:14.090 the Model Context Protocol servers feature to be precise. 5 00:00:14.760 --> 00:00:17.310 Now, I published a video 6 00:00:17.310 --> 00:00:18.900 and an article 7 00:00:18.900 --> 00:00:22.710 explaining what exactly this MCP thing is, 8 00:00:22.710 --> 00:00:26.100 and you find it attached in case you wanna dive deeper. 9 00:00:26.100 --> 00:00:27.420 In a nutshell, 10 00:00:27.420 --> 00:00:31.620 MCP servers are extra tools you could say 11 00:00:31.620 --> 00:00:33.240 that can automatically be used 12 00:00:33.240 --> 00:00:36.840 by AI applications like Cursor. 13 00:00:36.840 --> 00:00:40.020 And the official documentation of Cursor 14 00:00:40.020 --> 00:00:43.260 also provides some examples for tools you could add, 15 00:00:43.260 --> 00:00:45.210 for example, the GitHub tool, 16 00:00:45.210 --> 00:00:48.030 the GitHub MCP server. 17 00:00:48.030 --> 00:00:52.980 That is a server that allows Cursor 18 00:00:52.980 --> 00:00:57.870 or any other AI application that supports this MC protocol, 19 00:00:57.870 --> 00:00:59.460 this Model Context Protocol, 20 00:00:59.460 --> 00:01:01.773 but Cursor is such an application. 21 00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:05.310 It allows Cursor, therefore, 22 00:01:05.310 --> 00:01:08.760 to execute certain GitHub-related commands 23 00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:11.940 as part of its composer mode, for example. 24 00:01:11.940 --> 00:01:16.560 So that with that GitHub MCP server installed into Cursor, 25 00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:20.850 depending on the task you're asking via composer mode, 26 00:01:20.850 --> 00:01:24.180 Cursor will be able to create branches, 27 00:01:24.180 --> 00:01:28.980 create repositories, inspect repositories, and so on. 28 00:01:28.980 --> 00:01:33.180 Cursor will be able to perform all these actions 29 00:01:33.180 --> 00:01:35.820 you see here if you give it access 30 00:01:35.820 --> 00:01:39.330 to this GitHub MCP, to this GitHub tool. 31 00:01:39.330 --> 00:01:43.380 And therefore, this MCP servers feature is a feature 32 00:01:43.380 --> 00:01:47.793 that allows you to add even more capabilities to Cursor. 33 00:01:48.720 --> 00:01:51.660 You can click on Add New Global MCP Server 34 00:01:51.660 --> 00:01:53.820 and create this configuration file 35 00:01:53.820 --> 00:01:57.900 if it doesn't exist yet to get started with MCP. 36 00:01:57.900 --> 00:02:01.230 And it's likely that this process of adding MCP servers 37 00:02:01.230 --> 00:02:03.330 will get more convenient in the future. 38 00:02:03.330 --> 00:02:06.210 Right now, you would have to go to this JSON file 39 00:02:06.210 --> 00:02:11.210 and then grab this configuration from the GitHub server, 40 00:02:11.340 --> 00:02:13.770 GitHub repository in this case here. 41 00:02:13.770 --> 00:02:16.050 Paste that into this file. 42 00:02:16.050 --> 00:02:18.750 Insert your GitHub personal access token, 43 00:02:18.750 --> 00:02:19.650 which would be needed 44 00:02:19.650 --> 00:02:22.740 since it would be through your GitHub account 45 00:02:22.740 --> 00:02:24.903 that all these actions would be executed. 46 00:02:25.860 --> 00:02:27.270 And with that done, 47 00:02:27.270 --> 00:02:30.420 that GitHub tool would be available to Cursor 48 00:02:30.420 --> 00:02:32.730 as you can also see here. 49 00:02:32.730 --> 00:02:35.760 So now if I were to add a real token here 50 00:02:35.760 --> 00:02:37.680 so that this really would work, 51 00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:41.010 Cursor would be able to perform all these actions 52 00:02:41.010 --> 00:02:45.240 if I had a request that required one of these actions, 53 00:02:45.240 --> 00:02:48.810 so it would be able to push files to GitHub, for example, 54 00:02:48.810 --> 00:02:50.730 doing even more of the work 55 00:02:50.730 --> 00:02:53.700 I traditionally would maybe have to do. 56 00:02:53.700 --> 00:02:56.370 So that's another feature worth knowing, 57 00:02:56.370 --> 00:02:58.110 you might wanna play around with 58 00:02:58.110 --> 00:03:01.383 to add even more capabilities to Cursor.
