FAQ: Developer Tools MCPs
Which MCP should I install first as a developer?
Context7 for accurate library docs, Filesystem for local code access, and GitHub or Git for version control. Those three cover 80% of daily developer workflows.
Do I need a developer-focused MCP if I use Cursor?
Yes. Cursor handles the editor UX; MCPs extend what the agent inside Cursor can actually do — fetching current docs (Context7), running code safely (E2B), or touching your filesystem beyond the open project.
