🎬 Demo
Basic System Analysis
agent[1]> analyze disk usage and show me the top 10 largest directories
🔍 Analyzing disk usage across your system...
📊 Top 10 Largest Directories:
┌─────────────────────────────────┬──────────┬─────────────┐
│ Directory │ Size │ % of Total │
├─────────────────────────────────┼──────────┼─────────────┤
│ /var/lib/docker │ 15.3 GB │ 23.5% │
│ /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu │ 8.7 GB │ 13.4% │
│ /home/user/.cache │ 4.2 GB │ 6.5% │
└─────────────────────────────────┴──────────┴─────────────┘
💡 Recommendations:
• Docker images can be cleaned up with: docker system prune
• Cache directory is large - consider clearing browser caches
• Monitor /var/lib/docker growth for container sprawl
AI-Powered Code Review
agent[2]> review my Python script deployment.py and suggest improvements
📝 Code Analysis Complete!
🔍 Found 3 optimization opportunities:
1. **Security**: Hardcoded credentials detected (line 23)
→ Recommendation: Use environment variables or secrets manager
2. **Performance**: Synchronous HTTP calls in loop (lines 45-52)
→ Recommendation: Implement async/await pattern for 3x speed improvement
3. **Error Handling**: Missing exception handling for network calls
→ Recommendation: Add retry logic with exponential backoff
🚀 Auto-generated improved version saved to: deployment_optimized.py

Config for your environment
Replace {MCP_ENDPOINT_URL} with this MCP’s endpoint URL (from its repo or docs above). No API key — you connect directly.
Tool
OS
Config file: ~/.cursor/mcp.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcp-server": {
"url": "{MCP_ENDPOINT_URL}"
}
}
}Paste into mcpServers in the config file. Restart Cursor after saving.
If this MCP is also published on mcpchannel.ai, you can subscribe from Browse and use the gateway config there instead.
