MCP for Cursor

MacFullStack ships a local MCP server. Cursor (or any other MCP client) can ask the stack on your Mac: which projects exist, whether services are up, what Doctor reports, what’s in the logs — and start or stop the stack.

No cloud account. Nothing is sent to a third-party server: the client runs the app CLI on your machine.

This is included in Free.

What the agent can do

• List MacFullStack projects
• Stack service status
• Doctor diagnostics
• Recent logs with a short error/warning summary
• Start and stop the stack (Native or Docker, as configured in the app)

Connect in Cursor

1. Install MacFullStack in Applications.
2. CLI path: /Applications/MacFullStack.app/Contents/Resources/macstack
   The same path is shown in the app: Settings → About MacFullStack.
3. Add this server in Cursor MCP settings:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "macfullstack": {
      "command": "/Applications/MacFullStack.app/Contents/Resources/macstack",
      "args": ["mcp"]
    }
  }
}

4. Restart MCP in Cursor and confirm the macfullstack server is online.

If the app is not in /Applications, use your actual path to the macstack binary.

Run by hand

/Applications/MacFullStack.app/Contents/Resources/macstack mcp

The command speaks stdio: the client launches it. In a normal terminal it will wait for input.

Other clients

Any MCP client with stdio (for example Claude Desktop) can use the same command and mcp argument.
