Cursor mcp Resource/errors/engine_unavailable

How to: Cursor mcp errors/engine_unavailable

client:Cursor transport:streamable-http resource:errors/engine_unavailable

Add mcp to Cursor

  1. 01

    Open ~/.cursor/mcp.json and merge this in. Keep any servers already there.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp": {
      "url": "https://mcp.doc.cheap/mcp"
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart Cursor.

  2. 03

    errors/engine_unavailable is surfaced wherever your client lets you attach context. It is context to attach, not an action to run.

  3. 04

    If it does not appear, check that mcp is connected and that you are looking at its resources rather than its tools.

Use .cursor/mcp.json in a project root instead to scope it to that project. Cursor merges both. Cursor docs

Set these first

mcp will not start until these are set, so it never reaches Cursor.

Same resource, other clients

Read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling resources/list on 24 September 2026. A listing does not declare its resources, so asking is the only way to know them, and this is what the server actually offers rather than what its listing claims. Names only are stored; connect the server for each resource's type and contents.
