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:

1. stdio
2. 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.
