How to Submit Your MCP Server to Cursor Directory

Who’s there

Cursor users looking for MCP servers, skills and rules to add to their editor.

You build

A public GitHub repo with your MCP config, plus any skills or rules for your product.

Ask your coding agent

Read https://indiehustles.com/marketplaces/cursor-directory and look at our product and codebase. Is Cursor Directory a good opportunity for us? If it is, tell me what we'd build for it, the smallest version worth listing, and how much work it would take. Wait for my go-ahead before building.

Steps

1
Make a public GitHub repo. Add your MCP server config as .mcp.json at the root.
2
Add skills as skills/<name>/SKILL.md and rules as rules/<name>.mdc if you have them.
3
Add .cursor-plugin/plugin.json with your name, description, logo and homepage. The homepage becomes the link to your site.
4
Sign in at cursor.directory with GitHub or Google.
5
Go to cursor.directory/plugins/new, paste the repo URL and click Scan repo.
6
Check the name, description and the parts it found, then submit. A safety scan runs, and your page goes live if it passes.

Good to know

This is not the official Cursor Marketplace. That one is curated and much harder to get into.
Missed the homepage? Add it later from Edit on your plugin page.
A .claude-plugin/plugin.json also works, so one repo can serve Claude Code plugins too.
Plugins the scan flags stay hidden. Keep the repo free of obfuscated code and surprise install scripts.
