This TypeScript-based MCP server allows you to integrate with various services through the Model Context Protocol. When properly configured, it enables applications like Claude Desktop, Windsurf, and Cursor to communicate with external services.

Installation

To build the MCP server, you'll need to install dependencies and compile the TypeScript code:

npm install && npm run build

This command installs all required dependencies and creates a build directory containing the compiled code. It also outputs JSON configuration that you'll need to copy/paste into your MCP client.

Configuration

After successful installation, you'll see output similar to:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "doordash": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": [
        "<thePathToYour>/build/index.js"
      ],
      "env": [
        {
          "DOORDASH_API_KEY": "<REPLACE>"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

Setting Up Your MCP Client

  1. Copy the JSON output from the build process
  2. Paste it into your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Windsurf, Cursor, etc.)
  3. Replace <thePathToYour> with the actual path to your build directory
  4. Replace <REPLACE> with your actual DoorDash API key

Environment Variables

The server requires specific environment variables depending on which services you're connecting to:

  • DOORDASH_API_KEY: Your API key for DoorDash integration

Make sure to add these to the configuration in your MCP client.

Usage

Once installed and configured, your MCP client will be able to communicate with the server, allowing AI assistants to interact with external services through the Model Context Protocol.

How to add this MCP server to Cursor

There are two ways to add an MCP server to Cursor. The most common way is to add the server globally in the ~/.cursor/mcp.json file so that it is available in all of your projects.

If you only need the server in a single project, you can add it to the project instead by creating or adding it to the .cursor/mcp.json file.

Adding an MCP server to Cursor globally

To add a global MCP server go to Cursor Settings > MCP and click "Add new global MCP server".

When you click that button the ~/.cursor/mcp.json file will be opened and you can add your server like this:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "cursor-rules-mcp": {
            "command": "npx",
            "args": [
                "-y",
                "cursor-rules-mcp"
            ]
        }
    }
}

Adding an MCP server to a project

To add an MCP server to a project you can create a new .cursor/mcp.json file or add it to the existing one. This will look exactly the same as the global MCP server example above.

How to use the MCP server

Once the server is installed, you might need to head back to Settings > MCP and click the refresh button.

The Cursor agent will then be able to see the available tools the added MCP server has available and will call them when it needs to.

You can also explictly ask the agent to use the tool by mentioning the tool name and describing what the function does.
