Devid HW 896aa6111e feat: auto-detect and register MCP on multiple platforms
- Add multi-platform MCP detection (Claude, Windsurf, Cursor, VS Code)
- Auto-unregister previous installations before reinstall
- Create platform-specific docs (CURSOR.md, VSCODE.md, ANTIGRAVITY.md)
- Update Windsurf config to use correct JSON path (~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json)
- Fix VS Code config format (uses 'servers' not 'mcpServers')
- Remove MT5_MCP_HOME requirement from MCP configs (binary auto-detects)
- Slim down README installation section with platform table
- Update QUICKSTART.md with all platform instructions

Cursor MCP Integration Setup

Quick Setup

# macOS (Apple Silicon)
curl -L -o mt5-quant.tar.gz https://github.com/masdevid/mt5-mcp/releases/latest/download/mt5-quant-macos-arm64.tar.gz
tar -xzf mt5-quant.tar.gz

# Linux (x64)
curl -L -o mt5-quant.tar.gz https://github.com/masdevid/mt5-mcp/releases/latest/download/mt5-quant-linux-x64.tar.gz
tar -xzf mt5-quant.tar.gz

Option 2: Build from Source

cargo build --release

Configure Cursor

  1. Open Cursor Settings (Cmd/Ctrl + ,)
  2. Navigate to FeaturesMCP
  3. Click Add Custom MCP
  4. Enter:
    • Name: mt5-quant
    • Command: Full path to binary (e.g., /Users/name/mt5-quant/target/release/mt5-quant)
    • Type: stdio

Method 2: Edit mcp.json Directly

Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (global) or .cursor/mcp.json (project):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mt5-quant": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "/absolute/path/to/mt5-quant"
    }
  }
}

Create the file if it doesn't exist:

mkdir -p ~/.cursor
cat > ~/.cursor/mcp.json << 'EOF'
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mt5-quant": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "/path/to/mt5-quant"
    }
  }
}
EOF

Verify Setup

In Cursor chat, type:

Run verify_setup

Expected output:

Wine:    /Applications/MetaTrader 5.app/.../wine64
MT5 dir: ~/Library/Application Support/.../MetaTrader 5
Display: gui
Arch:    arch -x86_64

Configuration Locations

Scope Path Use Case
Global ~/.cursor/mcp.json Available in all projects
Project .cursor/mcp.json Project-specific tools

Troubleshooting

MCP server not appearing

  1. Check MCP panel in Cursor Settings
  2. Verify the path is absolute (not relative)
  3. Test binary: /path/to/mt5-quant --help
  4. View MCP logs: Output panel → select "MCP" from dropdown

Config interpolation

Cursor supports variable substitution in mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mt5-quant": {
      "command": "${userHome}/bin/mt5-quant",
      "args": ["--config", "${workspaceFolder}/config.yaml"]
    }
  }
}

Available variables:

  • ${userHome} - Home directory
  • ${workspaceFolder} - Project root
  • ${workspaceFolderBasename} - Project folder name
  • ${env:VAR_NAME} - Environment variable

Tool not found errors

If the agent says "Tool not found":

  1. Check the server is enabled in MCP settings
  2. Try disabling and re-enabling the server
  3. Restart Cursor
