+"""Cursor agent: registers Databricks MCP servers in ~/.cursor/mcp.json.
+
+Cursor is an MCP-only integration. `cursor-agent` runs models on the user's own
+Cursor account and exposes no gateway base URL, so ucode configures no models
+for it (it stays out of `agents.__init__._MODULES`). What ucode does is register
+Databricks MCP servers in Cursor's config, using the same uniform mechanism as
+every other client: a local **stdio** server that runs `ucode mcp-proxy`, which
+bridges to the Databricks MCP endpoint and mints a fresh OAuth token per request
+(see `ucode.mcp_proxy`). So Cursor needs no token in its config and no launch-
+time token export — `cursor-agent` just spawns the proxy like any stdio server.
+
+`cursor-agent` reads `~/.cursor/mcp.json` directly, so entries are merged into
+that shared file (preserving anything already there) and removed surgically,
+mirroring how Claude/Codex edit their shared config rather than restoring a
+whole-file backup.
