What is the Glob Pattern Tester MCP Server?
When a DevOps agent writes .gitignore rules or CI pipeline includes, it cannot guess whether src/**/*.ts matches src/utils/helper.ts. This MCP provides the definitive answer.
The Superpowers
- Exact Match: Uses minimatch, the same engine behind npm, to evaluate glob patterns deterministically.
- All Patterns: Supports
*,**,?,[abc],{a,b}, and negation!.
Built-in capabilities (1)
gitignore rules, CI include/exclude patterns, or deploy filters. Pass the glob pattern (e.g. "src/**/*.ts") and the file path to test (e.g. "src/utils/helper.ts"). The engine returns a boolean match result using the exact same algorithm used by npm and git. Tests whether a file path matches a glob pattern using minimatch (130M+ weekly downloads). Essential for .gitignore, CI pipeline, and deploy rule validation
Why Cursor?
Cursor's Agent mode turns Glob Pattern Tester into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Glob Pattern Tester and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 1 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.
- —
Agent mode turns Cursor into an autonomous coding assistant that can read files, run commands, and call MCP tools without switching context
- —
Cursor's Composer feature can generate entire files using real-time data fetched through MCP. no copy-pasting from external dashboards
- —
MCP tools appear alongside built-in tools like file reading and terminal access, creating a unified agentic environment
- —
VS Code extension compatibility means your existing workflow, keybindings, and extensions all work alongside MCP tools

Frequently asked questions
Is this the same algorithm git uses?
Yes. minimatch is the glob engine used by npm itself and follows the same POSIX glob specification that git uses for .gitignore.
Does it support double-star recursive patterns?
Yes. The ** pattern matches any number of directories recursively. For example, src/**/*.ts matches files at any depth inside src/.
Can I test negation patterns?
Yes. Prefix any pattern with ! to negate it. For example, !node_modules/** will NOT match any path inside node_modules.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Tools not appearing in Cursor
Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.
Server shows as disconnected
Check Settings → Features → MCP and verify the server status. Try clicking the refresh button.
