How to connect the System Process Observer MCP Tool to Cursor

Monitors active OS processes and identifies infrastructure port usage (Docker, Redis, Node, etc.). This guide provides the exact configuration required to load the list_processes tool inside Cursor.

Step 1: Open the configuration file

Locate and open your Cursor configuration file at the following path:

macOS / Linux~/.cursor/mcp.json

Windows%USERPROFILE%\.cursor\mcp.json

Step 2: Add the server config

Copy and paste the following JSON snippet into the file. Save the file and restart Cursor.

mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agenticstore": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["agentic-store-mcp", "--tools", "list_processes"]
    }
  }
}

Step 3: Try it out

Once restarted, ask Cursor something like this to trigger the tool:

"Check if Postgres and Docker are running on my machine."
