Cursor Resources
.cursorrules, MCP and MCP servers, prompts, tips and tricks
Overview
Cursor Resources is a centralized collection of resources designed to enhance productivity with Cursor, an AI-powered Integrated Development Environment (IDE). It includes prompts, rules, Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, scripts, and utilities that improve the development experience.
To use Cursor Resources, clone the repository into your Cursor workspace, apply global rules through Cursor Settings, and create project-specific rules in the .cursor/rules directory. Customize prompts and set up MCP servers as needed.
- Global and project-specific rules for AI behavior customization - Model Context Protocol servers for enhanced context handling - Utility scripts for automation and workflow enhancement - Documentation for architecture planning and tech stack resources
- Customizing AI behavior for specific coding styles and workflows.
- Enhancing AI understanding of codebases for better code generation.
- Automating repetitive tasks and improving development efficiency.

Use these steps to connect Cursor Resources in Cursor, Claude, VS Code, and other MCP-compatible apps. The same JSON appears in the Use with menu above for one-click copy.
Cursor
Add this to your .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root, then restart Cursor.
.cursor/mcp.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"cursor-resources-ample-education": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@modelcontextprotocol/server-cursor-resources-ample-education"
]
}
}
}Claude Desktop
Add this server entry to the mcpServers object in your Claude Desktop config, then restart the app.
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows)
{
"mcpServers": {
"cursor-resources-ample-education": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@modelcontextprotocol/server-cursor-resources-ample-education"
]
}
}
}Claude Code
Add this to your project's .mcp.json file. Claude Code will detect it automatically.
.mcp.json (project root)
{
"mcpServers": {
"cursor-resources-ample-education": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@modelcontextprotocol/server-cursor-resources-ample-education"
]
}
}
}VS Code (Copilot)
Add this to your .vscode/mcp.json file. Requires the GitHub Copilot extension with MCP support enabled.
.vscode/mcp.json
{
"servers": {
"cursor-resources-ample-education": {
"type": "stdio",
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@modelcontextprotocol/server-cursor-resources-ample-education"
]
}
}
}Windsurf
Add this to your Windsurf MCP config file, then restart Windsurf.
~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"cursor-resources-ample-education": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@modelcontextprotocol/server-cursor-resources-ample-education"
]
}
}
}Cline
Open Cline settings, navigate to MCP Servers, and add this server configuration.
Cline MCP Settings (via UI)
{
"mcpServers": {
"cursor-resources-ample-education": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
