Mcp Scripts
What is Mcp Scripts
mcp-scripts is a set of scripts designed for configuring Claude and Cursor within Visual Studio Code (VSCode), enabling seamless integration and management of MCP servers.
Use cases
Use cases for mcp-scripts include setting up development environments for AI applications, configuring automated testing frameworks, and managing multiple MCP servers for different projects.
How to use
To use mcp-scripts, configure the paths for Claude and Cursor settings as specified in the README. You can add MCP servers via the VSCode CLI or create a new workspace in agent mode. Dependencies can be added using Python’s FastMCP.
Key features
Key features include the ability to configure multiple MCP servers, support for different transport modes (stdio and sse), and the use of environment variables for sensitive configurations. It also allows for easy integration with GitHub Copilot.
Where to use
mcp-scripts can be used in software development environments, particularly for projects that require integration with AI models and tools like GitHub Copilot, enhancing productivity in coding tasks.

Path for Cursor Config:
{$PROJECT_DIR}/.cursor/mcp.json
Path for vscode insiders
$HOME/Library/Application Support/Code - Insiders/User/settings.json
or project specific (explore on your own.)

Add from CLI
Eg: install the Playwright MCP server using the VS Code CLI:
# For VS Code
code --add-mcp '{"name":"playwright","command":"npx","args":["@playwright/mcp@latest"]}'
# For VS Code Insiders
code-insiders --add-mcp '{"name":"playwright","command":"npx","args":["@playwright/mcp@latest"]}'
After installation, the Playwright MCP server will be available for use with your GitHub Copilot agent in VS Code.
Available transport modes:
- stdio
- sse
Adding dependencies:
mcp = FastMCP(
"MCP App Name",
dependencies=[
"httpx",
"python-dotenv",
],
)
Add mcp settings in cursor
Configuring MCP Servers
The MCP configuration file uses a JSON format with the following structure:
{
"mcpServers": {
"server-name": {
"command": "python",
"args": [
"mcp-server.py"
],
"env": {
"API_KEY": "value"
}
}
}
}The env field allows you to specify environment variables that will be available to your MCP server process. This is particularly useful for managing API keys and other sensitive configuration.
