AI Models Mentioned

Cursor AI Agent
Code assistance and context awareness

Summary

Discussion about useful MCP (Model Control Protocol) servers to integrate with Cursor IDE beyond the standard command line and GitHub implementations. The post specifically mentions PostgreSQL and Redis servers for maintaining agent context, and seeks community recommendations for additional MCP servers not listed in the "awesome-mcp-servers" repository.

Prompt

Looking for recommendations on MCP (Model Control Protocol) servers to integrate with Cursor IDE. Requirements:
- Must provide functionality not already built into Cursor
- Should enhance the AI agent's context awareness
- Preferably not listed in the awesome-mcp-servers repository
- Focus on practical performance improvements

Best Practices

Database State Integration

important

Integrate database servers (PostgreSQL and Redis) with MCP for context awareness

Avoid Redundant MCP Servers

important

Skip command line and GitHub MCP servers when Cursor has built-in support

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Don't Duplicate Built-in Functionality

important

Avoid setting up separate MCP servers for features already built into Cursor
