Cursor Delegate MCP Server

Stop burning your frontier agent's limits on boilerplate. Delegate edits to Cursor's CLI agent - your agent writes the brief and reviews the diff. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People who work with acp, agent client protocol and claude plugin and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in JavaScript.

01 · Install Cursor Delegate

Claude Code

claude mcp add andreilungeanu-cursor-delegate-mcp -- npx -y cursor-delegate-mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "andreilungeanu-cursor-delegate-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "cursor-delegate-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key
