How to use go-mcp-server-generator on Cursor

AI-first code editor with Composer

Prerequisites

Before installing skills in Cursor, ensure your development environment meets these requirements:

›Cursor installed and configured on your machine
›Node.js 16+ with npm — verify with node --version
›Active project directory where you want to add go-mcp-server-generator

Run the install command

Execute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:

$npx skills add https://github.com/github/awesome-copilot --skill go-mcp-server-generator

Fetches go-mcp-server-generator from github/awesome-copilot and configures it for Cursor.

Select Cursor when prompted

The CLI shows a list of agents. Use arrow keys and space to select Cursor:

◆ Which agents do you want to install to?

│ ── Universal (.agents/skills) ────────────────

│ · Cline · Codex · Goose · Windsurf

│ ●Cursor(selected)

│ · Cursor · Aider · Continue

Verify installation

Confirm successful installation by checking the skill directory location:

.cursor/skills/go-mcp-server-generator

Restart Cursor to activate go-mcp-server-generator. Access via /go-mcp-server-generator in your agent's command palette.

Security Notice

We perform automated surface-level scans (Gen AI Scanner, Socket, Snyk) during installation. These checks detect common vulnerabilities but do not guarantee complete security. Always review skill source code and verify the publisher's reputation before production use.

Skills execute code in your environment. Always review source, verify the publisher, and test in isolation before production.
