How to Set Up and Use MCP Forge

MCP Forge is a scaffolding tool that generates ready-to-deploy MCP server projects for Smithery, letting developers skip boilerplate and jump straight to implementing their server logic. It ships with three starter templates — Basic, Web Search, and Database (PostgreSQL) — and outputs both the server code and the Cursor IDE configuration needed to connect it immediately. Developers use it to prototype and publish custom MCP servers without writing repetitive setup code.

Prerequisites

  • Node.js 18 or later installed
  • npm 9 or later
  • A Smithery account if you plan to publish the generated server
  • Cursor IDE or another MCP-compatible client
  • For the Database template: a running PostgreSQL instance
1

Clone the MCP Forge repository

Clone the repository from GitHub and enter the project directory.

git clone https://github.com/chromewillow/mcp-forge.git
cd mcp-forge
2

Install dependencies

Install all Node.js dependencies required by MCP Forge.

npm install
3

Start MCP Forge

Launch the MCP Forge tool. It will prompt you to choose a server name and a template.

npm start
4

Choose a template

When prompted, select one of the three available templates: Basic (sample tools), Web Search (search functionality), or Database (PostgreSQL integration). MCP Forge generates a new project directory with the server code and Smithery deployment config.

5

Connect to Cursor IDE

MCP Forge outputs the Cursor MCP configuration snippet after generation. Add it to your ~/.cursor/mcp.json file to connect Cursor to your new server.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-forge": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@smithery/cli@latest",
        "run",
        "@your-username/mcp-forge",
        "--config",
        "{}"
      ]
    }
  }
}
6

Deploy to Smithery

Follow the Smithery deployment guidance output by MCP Forge to publish your generated server so it can be discovered and used by others.

MCP Forge Examples

Client configuration (Cursor IDE)

After running MCP Forge and generating your server, add this entry to ~/.cursor/mcp.json to enable it in Cursor.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-forge": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@smithery/cli@latest",
        "run",
        "@your-username/mcp-forge",
        "--config",
        "{}"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Prompts to try

Use these prompts in Cursor or another MCP client once MCP Forge is connected.

- "Generate a new MCP server using the Web Search template and name it my-search-server."
- "Create a Database MCP server with PostgreSQL support called data-api."
- "Show me the Smithery deployment instructions for my generated server."
- "Give me the Cursor IDE configuration for connecting to my new MCP server."

Troubleshooting MCP Forge

npm start fails with a module not found error

Ensure you ran npm install in the mcp-forge directory before starting. Delete node_modules and run npm install again if the error persists.

Cursor does not show the generated server in its MCP list

Verify that ~/.cursor/mcp.json is valid JSON and contains the correct server entry. Restart Cursor after editing the config file.

Database template fails to connect to PostgreSQL

Ensure your PostgreSQL instance is running and accessible. Update the connection string in the generated server's configuration to match your database host, port, user, and password.
