Cursor Tool-result size governor for MCP shape_result
How to: Cursor Tool-result size governor for MCP shape_result
Add Tool-result size governor for MCP to Cursor
-
01
Open ~/.cursor/mcp.json and merge this in. Keep any servers already there.
{
"mcpServers": {
"tool-result-size-governor": {
"url": "https://textforagents.com/products/tool-result-size-governor/mcp"
}
}
}
-
02
Save the file and restart Cursor.
-
03
Ask for something shape_result does. Cursor lists the server's tools on connect and calls shape_result itself — you do not invoke it by name.
-
04
If nothing happens, check the server is running and that Tool-result size governor for MCP'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 21 October 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.
