MCP setup in Cursor not matching guidance.

Newbie here with fresh install. I'm assuming something very recently changed. But when I try to add a new MCP server in Cursor, I don't get the UI for entering details (pic). I get a new mcp.json file. Not sure what to do next. Help?

hey @IPBuilder -- ah it looks like this changed on the most recent cursor version. you can fill out the json like this:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "convex": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "convex@latest",
        "mcp",
        "start"
      ]
    }
  }
}

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "convex": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "convex@latest",
        "mcp",
        "start"
      ]
    }
  }
}

i'll update the docs too

When you click on "Add new global MCP server," you will paste the above into the blank file that will open
