# MCP

> Stdio server named stacktaste. Cursor launches it from .cursor/mcp.json.

There is no npm SDK. Agents talk to StackTaste through this MCP server and through hooks.

## Wire

`stacktaste init` or `agents add cursor` writes:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "stacktaste": {
      "command": "stacktaste",
      "args": ["mcp"]
    }
  }
}
```

Exact `command` / `args` are the CLI process that ran init, so the same binary is reused.
