Beyond Code Completion: Integrate Your Entire Dev Workflow into Cursor with MCP

Developers lose significant productivity due to constant context switching between their IDE and other tools like Jira, GitHub, and Slack. The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that solves this by allowing AI assistants, such as the one in the Cursor IDE, to securely interact with external applications. By connecting tools through an MCP server, developers can use natural language prompts to automate complex, multi-step workflows directly within their editor. This integration transforms the IDE into a central command center, reducing friction and allowing the AI to operate with greater context and awareness.
