Description

Installed my first MCP globally in Cursor but it's not working as expected

Steps to Reproduce

Installed taskmaster CLI globally using

npm install -g task-master-ai

Configured the base, research and fallback models as:

Base: o3
Research: Perplexity Sonar Reasoning Pro
Fallback: Openrouter Custom (gemini-2.5-pro-preview)

Saved ~/.cursor/mcp.json as:

{
    "mcpServers": {
      "taskmaster-ai": {
        "command": "npx",
        "args": ["-y", "--package=task-master-ai", "task-master-ai"],
        "env": {
          "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY": "sk-ant-",
          "PERPLEXITY_API_KEY": "pplx-",
          "OPENAI_API_KEY": "sk-proj-",
          "OPENROUTER_API_KEY": "sk-or-"
        }
      }
    }
  }

Expected Behavior

The MCP section in cursor should show an active entry for Taskmaster with the list of available tools it provides.
Asking cursor chat to add PRDs to Taskmaster should work automatically

Actual Behavior

Cursor shows "0 tools added"
Cursor chat has no idea what taskmaster is.
