Cursor usa o mesmo esquema mcpServers que o Claude Desktop. Config de projeto vence a global.

VS Code → Cline → MCP Servers → Edit

  "mcpServers": {
    "family-history-research-skill": {
      "command": "git",

Clique no ícone MCP Servers na barra lateral do Cline, depois "Edit Configuration".

Mesmo formato do Claude Desktop. Reinicie o Windsurf para aplicar.

~/.continue/config.json

  "mcpServers": [

    }

O Continue usa um array de objetos de servidor em vez de um map.

          "~/.claude/skills/claude-family-history-research-skill"
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}

Adicione em context_servers. Zed recarrega automaticamente ao salvar.

Uma linha só. Verifique com claude mcp list. Remova com claude mcp remove.

Casos de uso

Usos do mundo real: Family History Research Skill

Plan a research session for one ancestor's birth date

👤 Genealogists ⏱ ~15 min intermediate

Quando usar: You don't know where to look next for an ancestor stuck pre-1850.

Pré-requisitos

Server/skill installed and authenticated — See repo README

Fluxo

Frame

Using the genealogy skill, frame a research question for finding John Smith's birth date (b. ~1820, Cork, Ireland).✓ Copiado

Plan

Generate a search plan with specific record sets (Irish civil registration, Catholic parish registers, US naturalization).✓ Copiado

→ Ordered, scoped search plan

Resultado: A real plan instead of random Ancestry hunts.

Armadilhas

Skill is methodology, not database. You still need subscriptions to Ancestry/FamilySearch/FindMyPast for the records themselves. — Skill is methodology, not database. You still need subscriptions to Ancestry/FamilySearch/FindMyPast for the records themselves.
