Cursor and VS Code both support **one-click deep-link installs** for MCP servers, which is now standard practice for MCP server READMEs — a badge the user clicks and the client installs the server, no wizard or config editing.\n\n- Cursor: `cursor://anysphere.cursor-deeplink/mcp/install?name=<name>&config=<base64-config>` (commonly rendered as an \"Add to Cursor\" badg\n\n[Read the thread](https://github.com/bruchris/canvas-lms-mcp/issues/276) · 2026-07-31 · closed · 0 comments\n\n### MCP Registry listing shows stale metadata (115 tools / 17 domains) and README registry badge 404s\n\n## Problem\n\nTwo stale/broken surfaces on our MCP Registry presence:\n\n1. **`server.json` description is stale.** It reads `\"TypeScript MCP server for Canvas LMS — 115 read+write tools across 17 domains.\"` — the actual count is **163 tools across 41 domains**.
