Cursor imf mcp server imf_list_databases

How to: Cursor imf mcp server imf_list_databases

client:Cursor transport:streamable-http tool:imf_list_databases

Add imf mcp server to Cursor

  1. 01

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "imf-mcp-server": {
      "url": "https://imf.caseyjhand.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart Cursor.

  2. 03

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

  3. 04

    If nothing happens, check the server is running and that imf mcp server'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

Set these first

imf mcp server will not start until these are set, so imf_list_databases never becomes available.

  • IMF_ENABLE_DATAFRAME_DROP
  • MCP_LOG_LEVEL

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.
