FAQ from @mcpdotdirect/template-mcp-server

What transport methods does the template support?

The template supports two transport methods: stdio (command line mode, runs locally, managed automatically by Cursor) and SSE (HTTP mode, can run locally or remotely, communicates over the network, can be shared across machines).

How do I connect my MCP server to Cursor?

In Cursor, go to Settings > Features > MCP Servers and click "Add new MCP server". For stdio mode use type: command with your start command; for SSE mode use type: url with http://localhost:3001/sse. You can also create a .cursor/mcp.json file for portability.

Can I use a different runtime instead of Bun?

Yes. The default scripts in package.json use Bun (e.g., bun run src/index.ts). You can modify the scripts in package.json to use Node.js or another runtime of your choice.

How do I test my MCP server?

FastMCP provides built-in tools: use npx fastmcp dev server.js for development with auto-reload, or npx fastmcp inspect server.ts to inspect your server's tools, resources, and prompts.
