Summary

  • Adds a note explaining that Cursor runs in an isolated bash environment that does not inherit the terminal's PATH, so npx cannot be resolved by name alone
  • Adds a Before configuration section instructing users to verify npx is installed and find its full path before configuring the MCP server
  • Changes the command value in the Cursor npx example from "npx" to "path/to/npx" to reflect that the absolute path is required

Test plan

  • Verify the Cursor npx JSON snippet renders correctly in the docs
  • Confirm the note and pre-configuration steps are clear and actionable for a new user

Cursor runs in an isolated bash environment that does not inherit terminal
PATH, so npx cannot be resolved by name alone. Adds a note explaining why
and instructs users to find and specify the full path to npx.
