# MCP Config Examples

Sample MCP (Model Context Protocol) configurations across Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, Windsurf, and Zed — both VALID examples to copy-paste and INVALID ones for fixture-driven testing of MCP linters.

```python
from datasets import load_dataset
ds = load_dataset("mukunda1729/mcp-config-examples", split="train")
print([r["scenario"] for r in ds if not r["valid"]])
```

## Schema

| Field | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| `client` | `str` | `claude-desktop`, `cursor`, `cline`, `windsurf`, `zed` |
| `scenario` | `str` | Short label describing this fixture |
| `config` | `object` | The actual MCP config JSON |
| `valid` | `bool` | Whether the config is well-formed and safe |
| `issues` | `array<str>` | Lint findings when `valid: false` |

## Use cases

- Fixture-driven tests for MCP config linters: [`mcpcheck-py`](https://pypi.org/project/mcpcheck-py/), [`mcp-config-check`](https://pypi.org/project/mcp-config-check/), [`@mukundakatta/mcpcheck`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@mukundakatta/mcpcheck).
- Copy-paste templates when configuring an MCP client for the first time.
- Negative-test corpus for tools that need to detect dangerous configs.
