Greptile Summary

Simplified Cursor MCP server configuration by removing the mcp-remote wrapper and using Cursor's native HTTP URL support instead.

• Modified getConfigSnippet() to generate direct URL configs for Cursor ({ url, headers }) instead of stdio-based npx commands
• Updated getCursorInstallUrl() to create deeplinks with the same direct URL format
• Added inline comments explaining that Cursor supports native HTTP while Claude Desktop and VS Code still require mcp-remote
• Maintains backward compatibility for other clients (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, VS Code) which continue using their existing transport mechanisms

The change streamlines the user experience by providing a simpler configuration format that matches Cursor's capabilities.

Confidence Score: 5/5

• This PR is safe to merge with minimal risk
• The changes are well-isolated, logically sound, and maintain backward compatibility for all other MCP clients. The modification correctly uses Cursor's native HTTP URL support while preserving existing behavior for Claude Desktop and VS Code. No breaking changes or risky operations introduced.
• No files require special attention
