Moose

MCP Server Boilerplate In Go

Moose is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server boilerplate written in Go. It provides both STDIO and SSE (Server-Sent Events) modes of operation.

Cursor Integration

Moose supports both STDIO and SSE (Server-Sent Events) modes for Cursor AI IDE integration.

STDIO Mode (Recommended)

To run moose in STDIO mode in Cursor AI IDE, use the following configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "moose": {
      "command": "moose server"
    }
  }
}

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "moose": {
      "command": "moose server --log-format json --log-level debug --log-output /var/log/moose.log"
    }
  }
}

SSE Mode

To run moose in SSE mode, first start the server:

moose server --sse --url http://127.0.0.1:8080

Then configure Cursor to connect to the SSE endpoint:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "moose": {
      "url": "http://127.0.0.1:8080/sse"
    }
  }
}

Note: When using SSE mode, make sure the server is running before starting Cursor, as Cursor will attempt to connect to the specified URL.
