Cursor config for WSB Analyst MCP Server

npx -y @smithery/cli install @ferdousbhai/wsb-analyst-mcp --client claude
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "wsb-analyst-mcp-server": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "wsb-analyst"
      ],
      "env": {
        "REDDIT_CLIENT_ID": "your_client_id_here",
        "REDDIT_CLIENT_SECRET": "your_client_secret_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Requires `uv` (the Python package runner). Install it from https://docs.astral.sh/uv/ if `uvx` is not found.

Setup steps

  1. 1Open Cursor → Settings → MCP → Add new MCP server (or edit ~/.cursor/mcp.json directly).
  2. 2Paste the WSB Analyst MCP Server config below into the "mcpServers" object.
  3. 3Fill in placeholder secrets, then save.
  4. 4Cursor reloads MCP servers automatically — check Settings → MCP for a green status dot.
  5. 5Ask Cursor to use one of WSB Analyst MCP Server's tools to confirm it's connected.

Before you start

  • Python 3.12 or higher
  • Reddit API credentials (client_id and client_secret from a 'script' type Reddit app)
  • Claude Desktop or another MCP client
  • uv (recommended for local install via 'uv sync')

WSB Analyst MCP Server + Cursor FAQ

Where is the Cursor config file?

Cursor reads MCP servers from ~/.cursor/mcp.json. Paste the WSB Analyst MCP Server config there under the "mcpServers" key and restart the client.

Is WSB Analyst MCP Server safe to use with Cursor?

Requires Reddit API credentials (REDDIT_CLIENT_ID and REDDIT_CLIENT_SECRET) created as a 'script' type Reddit app. Store these secrets in your MCP client config; do not commit them. The server reads public WallStreetBets content and does not place trades or move money.

What credentials do I need?

Reddit API credentials. Create a 'script' type app at https://www.reddit.com/prefs/apps, then use the client_id and client_secret as REDDIT_CLIENT_ID and REDDIT_CLIENT_SECRET. OAuth is not used, so any valid redirect URI (e.g. http://localhost:8000) works.

How do I install it for Claude Desktop?

The easiest path is Smithery: run `npx -y @smithery/cli install @ferdousbhai/wsb-analyst-mcp --client claude`. Alternatively, clone the repo, run `uv sync`, and add the mcpServers block to your claude_desktop_config.json with your Reddit credentials.

Are there prompt templates included?

Yes. /analyze_wsb_market guides a comprehensive market analysis, and /find_market_movers focuses on what is moving specific stocks or the market. They are accessed via slash commands in the MCP client.
