cursor-mcp-bridge
MCP server that lets any agent or MCP host delegate tasks to the Cursor CLI agent for fast, headless execution. Supports task delegation, project discovery, file analysis, and follow-up sessions.

cursor-mcp-bridge
MCP server that lets any agent or MCP host delegate to the Cursor CLI agent (agent -p)
running headless. Cursor is the cheap/fast worker in the fleet — use it for routine work and
to map unfamiliar projects without burning your own context.
Mirrors the ergonomics of agy-bridge: every tool takes an optional model and effort,
returns a session_id, and supports follow_up. Default model is auto (Cursor picks the
cheapest adequate model).
Tools
| Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|
delegate |
Run a task on the Cursor agent with full tool access in cwd. |
explore |
Read-only exploration. No files → general project map; with files → answer about those files. The cheap counterpart to Claude's Explore. |
web_lookup |
Web/docs lookup via the Cursor agent's web access. |
follow_up |
Continue a prior session by session_id. |
Every tool accepts: cwd, model (default auto), effort (applied only to parameterized
models; auto ignores it).
Requirements
- Node ≥ 18
- Cursor CLI installed as
agentand authenticated (agent login).
Install
git clone https://github.com/JaimeJunr/cursor-mcp-bridge.git
cd cursor-mcp-bridge
npm install
npm run build
Register in an MCP host
Claude Code:
claude mcp add cursor-bridge -s user -- node /abs/path/to/cursor-mcp-bridge/dist/index.js
Any host — add to its mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"cursor-bridge": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/abs/path/to/cursor-mcp-bridge/dist/index.js"]
}
}
}
Configuration (env)
| Var | Default | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
CURSOR_BIN |
agent |
Path to the Cursor CLI binary. |
CURSOR_BRIDGE_MODEL |
auto |
Default model when a call omits model. |
CURSOR_BRIDGE_FORCE |
(off) | If 1/true, pass --force so commands run without prompts. |
CURSOR_BRIDGE_TIMEOUT_MS |
600000 |
Per-call timeout. |
Security:
delegatecan edit files and (withCURSOR_BRIDGE_FORCE) run shell autonomously.discoveryandanalyze_filesrun in read-only modes (plan/ask).
