MCP server syntax error #116
Description
Extension Version
v2.6.2
OS and Version
Windows 11, WSL Ubuntu Using Laravel Sail
VS Code Version
Cursor 0.49.6
Database name and Version
mysql 8.0.32
Steps to reproduce
Clicked on the hammer icon to add the mcp server to my mcp.json.
{
"devdb-mcp-server": {
"command": "node",
"args": [
"/home/nlehman/.cursor-server/extensions/damms005.devdb-2.5.7-linux-x64/dist/services/mcp/api.js"
]
}
}Also tried changing it to run via wsl with no luck.
"devdb-mcp-server": {
"command": "wsl",
"args": [
"bash",
"-c",
"'node /home/nlehman/.cursor-server/extensions/damms005.devdb-2.6.2-linux-x64/dist/services/mcp/server.js'"
]
},Also tried to manually run the mcp server.js using node from the terminal. This was the output:
SyntaxError: Unexpected token '.'

I expected the mcp server to connect and show a green dot but instead shows a red dot and says failed to create client.
Additional context
I couldn't find anything helpful in the output logs of "Cursor MCP".
