Overview

Our opinion

Cursor MCP Installer is a focused MCP utility designed for server automation in Cursor IDE. While it excels at its core function, the lack of detailed prompt, resource, and tool documentation limits its versatility as an MCP example. The repository does provide a clear licensing model and practical setup instructions.

Score: 4/10 — Great for its specific purpose but missing broader MCP primitives and documentation.
