Why Use Cursor with the Hetzner MCP Server

Cursor AI Code Editor provides unique advantages when paired with Hetzner through the Model Context Protocol.

01

Agent mode turns Cursor into an autonomous coding assistant that can read files, run commands, and call MCP tools without switching context

02

Cursor's Composer feature can generate entire files using real-time data fetched through MCP. no copy-pasting from external dashboards

03

MCP tools appear alongside built-in tools like file reading and terminal access, creating a unified agentic environment

04

VS Code extension compatibility means your existing workflow, keybindings, and extensions all work alongside MCP tools

Hetzner + Cursor Use Cases

Practical scenarios where Cursor combined with the Hetzner MCP Server delivers measurable value.

02

Automated documentation: have Cursor query your API's tool schemas and generate TypeScript interfaces or OpenAPI specs automatically

03

Infrastructure-as-code: Cursor can fetch domain configurations and generate corresponding Terraform or CloudFormation templates

04

Test scaffolding: ask Cursor to pull real API responses via MCP and generate unit test fixtures from actual data

Example Prompts for Hetzner in Cursor

Ready-to-use prompts you can give your Cursor agent to start working with Hetzner immediately.

Hetzner + Cursor FAQ

Common questions about integrating Hetzner MCP Server with Cursor.

01

What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?

Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.
02

Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?

Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.
03

Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?

No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.
04

How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?

Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
