I would love to add one more it will be context7.... It allows your ide to interact with the latest docs available on the internet for the majority of the lib and APIs which are maintained by the community

context7 is really innovative. Also similar is the docfork MCP (docfork.com) which likewise connects to heaps of repo docs.

Browserbase is great, but registration is required.
Much more convenient than Duckduckgo, no registration required.

  "mcpServers": {
    "duckduckgo-search": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "duckduckgo-mpc-server"]
    }
}

Love how you laid out the real strengths of each MCP server and their config tips - have you found any combos of these that work especially well together in Cursor?

I think you can try apps like MCP Now, which helps manage all servers from one place, making it easy to hot-swap between configs and test flows quickly without digging into JSON every time.

Not perfect (macOS only right now), but it definitely helped me stay in the zone while testing different setups. Worth a look if you’re mixing and matching MCPs like this
