I'm experiencing issues integrating the MCP server tool with Cursor IDE. The MCP server connection establishes successfully initially but fails after one minute of operation.

IDE: Cursor

  • MCP Tool: Hosted version (following GitHub installation guide)
  • Installation Method: Following navigation link from MCP server GitHub page

Issue Details

  • Initial Connection: Status badge shows green (successful connection)
  • Connection Duration: Approximately 60 seconds
  • Failure Pattern: Status badge turns red consistently after ~1 minute

Steps Taken

  • Followed the official MCP server installation guide from the GitHub repository
  • Verified initial configuration shows successful connection (green status) Monitored connection stability over time

Expected Behavior

  • MCP server tool should maintain a stable connection with Cursor IDE for extended development sessions.
  • Actual Behavior Connection drops after approximately one minute.

Questions for Investigation

  1. Are there known timeout configurations that cause this 60-second disconnect pattern?
  2. Is there additional configuration required for sustained MCP server connections in Cursor?

Additional Context This appears to be a connection persistence issue rather than an initial setup problem, since the integration works correctly for the first minute before failing.

Any insights into troubleshooting MCP server stability with Cursor IDE would be helpful. Has anyone encountered similar timeout issues with this setup?

mcp.json

TypeScript
      "url": "https://mcp-for-docs.appwrite.io",
      "headers": {}
    }```

**Questions**
Is a timeout feature intentional and if so is it for the purpose of:
1. Resource management - Prevents idle connections from consuming server resources
2. Security - Limits exposure of long-lived connections
3. Load balancing - Ensures connections are distributed properly
TL;DR
Developers facing issues with MCP server tool integration in Cursor IDE. Connection established successfully initially but drops consistently after approximately one minute. No solution provided.
