Documentation for mcp command flags #457
Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The documentation doesn't mention the -t, --transport command flag for mcp run <filename>.py. I was unable to get Cursor to connect to my locally-running MCP server correctly without explicitly setting the transport flag, which I only discovered from reading the code (running in Ubuntu).
Describe the solution you'd like
The -t, --transport flag (and all other flags for mcp commands) should be documented in the README.md so that devs and LLMs alike can have the necessary context to connect.

Fair feedback - looking at the README there's scarcely any documentation on the CLI, seems important to add.
docs: add CLI command flags reference to README

I'd like to work on this. Added a CLI command flags reference section to README.v2.md documenting all flags for
mcp run,mcp dev, andmcp install, including the-t/--transportflag.PR: #2192

Thanks for the report. This has since been addressed on
mainas part of the v2 work (see #2978). I'm closing this out as part of a backlog cleanup around the v2 release. Feel free to reopen if this is still relevant.AI Disclaimer
