Create your own MCP Server

Setting up your own MCP server allows seamless integration with Cursor, Windsurf, and Claude Desktop using a single configuration. After creating the MCP server with FastMCP, verifying it with MCP Inspector, and adding tools, the same configuration can be used across all three IDEs. Simply copy the MCP settings like: { "mcpServers": { "my-mcp-server-ratio": { "command": "uv", "args": [ "--directory", "/Users/kiu/dev/my-mcp-server-ratio", "run", "main.py" ] } } } into each platform's configuration file—Cursor's mcp.json, Windsurf's mcp_config.json, and Claude Desktop's Claude_Desktop_Config.json —then restart or refresh the IDE to establish the connection. Once set up, the MCP tools can be used effortlessly, with options for manual approval or auto-run mode for a smoother workflow.

Setting up your own MCP server allows seamless integration with Cursor, Windsurf, and Claude Desktop using a single configuration.

After creating the MCP server with FastMCP, verifying it with MCP Inspector, and adding tools, the same configuration can be used across all three IDEs.

Simply copy the MCP settings like:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "my-mcp-server-ratio": {
            "command": "uv",
            "args": [
                "--directory",
                "/Users/kiu/dev/my-mcp-server-ratio",
                "run",
                "main.py"
            ]
        }
    }
}

into each platform's configuration file—Cursor's mcp.json, Windsurf's mcp_config.json, and Claude Desktop's Claude_Desktop_Config.json —then restart or refresh the IDE to establish the connection.

Once set up, the MCP tools can be used effortlessly, with options for manual approval or auto-run mode for a smoother workflow.
