MCP servers expose tools to the agent. Configure them on AgentOptions.mcpServers (or SendOptions.mcpServers for per-run override) as Record<string, McpServerConfig> — the key is the server name.

Transports

[[references/stdio]] — command, args, env, cwd
[[references/http]] — url, headers, auth
[[references/sse]] — url with SSE transport

Configuration patterns

[[references/inline-config]] — mcpServers on Agent.create
[[references/per-run-override]] — mcpServers on agent.send (replaces, doesn't merge)
[[references/file-config]] — .cursor/mcp.json and settingSources
[[references/persistence]] — inline servers are not persisted across Agent.resume

Auth

[[references/oauth]] — auth.CLIENT_ID / CLIENT_SECRET / scopes for HTTP/SSE
