That said, I tend to be skeptical of hype, so before I sink time into this, is anyone actually using MCP servers as part of their dev workflow? If so, which ones, and how are they actually helping?
I feel like just adding a CLI tool to Cursor’s rules file and telling it how to use it might be just as effective. But maybe I’m missing something?
Would love to hear from real users, not just polished demo videos made by people building MCP servers. If you use MCP servers in Cursor (or anywhere else), let me know what you use and why?

We did this because of a painpoint I experienced as an engineer having to deal with Jira and Linear - updating slack and all that friction. I noticed I copy and paste a lot to cursor and so spent time building this app.
Mostly for workflows that I like:
• start a PR with a summary of what I just did - slack or comment to linear/Jira with a summary of what I pushed • connect to Postgres and build CRUD api from the table schema • pull this issue from sentry and fix it • pull this linear issue and do a first pass • pull in this Notion doc with a PRD then create an API reference for it based on this codebase, then create a new Notion page with the reference
Everyone seems to go for the hype but ease of use, practical pragmatic developer workflows, and high quality polished mcp servers are what we’re focused on
Lmk what you think!
