Stand In in Cursor

Add both servers to ~/.cursor/mcp.json for every project, or .cursor/mcp.json for just this one. Remote entries take a bare url; no type field, unlike VS Code.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "standin": {
      "url": "https://standin.app/api/mcp"
    },
    "standin-read": {
      "url": "https://standin.app/api/respond/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Cursor rejects the type field that VS Code requires. Copying one config into the other is the usual reason a server silently fails to start.

Then just talk to it

Once it is connected, Stand In is something you say, not something you open.

• “Read this capsule: <link>”
• “Ask <link> what the refund policy is.”
• “Make a stand-in from these notes and give me the review link.”
