MCP Montano Server

Simple MCP Server Implementation

Installation

Add the following to your MCP client configuration file.

Configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "lucasmontano-mcp-montano-server": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": [
        "path/to/mcp-montano-server/build/index.js"
      ]
    }
  }
}

MCP Montano Server is a TypeScript-based MCP host that you run alongside your Cursor setup to expose and manage MCP endpoints for Montano. It lets you start the server locally, build production-ready code, and connect from an MCP client to execute actions and fetch data within your Montano environment.

How to use

You can run the Montano MCP server in development or production mode and connect your MCP client through Cursor to interact with Montano features. In development, use the dev command to start a live watcher with automatic rebuilds. In production, build the project and run the compiled output. To connect from Cursor, ensure your Cursor configuration references the local node process and points to the compiled entry point.

How to install

Prerequisites you need before getting started are Node.js version 18 or higher and npm (which comes with Node.js). A Cursor IDE is recommended for a smooth integration experience.

Concrete steps to set up the Montano MCP server locally are shown below. Run each line exactly as written.

# 1) Clone the repository
git clone [email protected]:lucasmontano/mcp-montano-server.git
cd mcp-montano-server

# 2) Install dependencies
npm install

# 3) Development mode
npm run dev

# 4) Build and run in production mode
npm run build
npm start

If you want to integrate this MCP server with Cursor, add it to your Cursor MCP configuration using the following snippet. This entry assumes the compiled build will be available at the specified path after you run the build command.

{
  "mcpServers": {    
    "montano-mcp-server": {
      "command": "node",      
      "args": ["path/to/mcp-montano-server/build/index.js"]
    }
  }
}

Project structure and notes

The project is organized to separate source code from the compiled output and dependencies. Here is the typical layout you’ll work with.

mcp-montano-server/
├── src/           # Source code
├── build/         # Compiled JavaScript files
├── node_modules/  # Dependencies
├── package.json   # Project configuration and dependencies
└── tsconfig.json  # TypeScript configuration
