Cursor MTG Bench check_deck_legality

How to: Cursor MTG Bench check_deck_legality

client:Cursor transport:streamable-http tool:check_deck_legality

Add MTG Bench to Cursor

  1. 01

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mtgbench": {
      "url": "https://mtgbench.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart Cursor.

  2. 03

    Ask for something check_deck_legality does. Cursor lists the server's tools on connect and calls check_deck_legality itself — you do not invoke it by name.

  3. 04

    If nothing happens, check the server is running and that MTG Bench's identifier in your config matches the one above exactly.

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

Same tool, other clients

This list was read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling tools/list on 24 September 2026. It is what the server actually exposes, not what its listing claims.

Mutating and Read-only are read off each tool's name, not its schema — a hint, not a guarantee. The registry stores tool names only; connect the server for its live schemas.
