MCP server that enables subagent functionality
npm install @da1z/subagentsThis MCP server brings subagents to Cursor. It allows you to delegate complex, multi-step tasks to specialized agents.
- Subagents in Cursor: Enables agentic workflows directly within Cursor.
- Default Subagents: Includes two powerful agents inspired by Claude Code:
- General Purpose: For researching complex questions and executing multi-step tasks.
- Explore: Specialized for quickly finding files and understanding codebase architecture.
- Automatic Discovery: Automatically detects and uses your existing Claude subagents from .claude/agents/.
> [!WARNING]
> Subagents will have access to all available tools. The cursor-agent CLI does not currently support configuring available tools, so the tool field in Claude subagent Markdown files will be ignored.
- Cursor CLI: You must have the Cursor CLI installed.
- Node.js: Version 22.0.0 or higher.
Add the following to your ~/.cursor/mcp.json:
``json`
{
"mcpServers": {
"subagents": {
"command": "npx -y @da1z/subagents --cwd ${workspaceFolder}"
}
}
}
_Note: The --cwd` argument is required._
This MCP server provides a single tool to the agent:
- task: Launches a specialized subagent to handle a complex task. The agent can choose which subagent to use (e.g., "general-purpose", "explore") based on the task requirements.
