What is the Jupyter Notebook MCP Server?

This is an MCP server specifically designed for Cursor, allowing AI to directly edit and operate Jupyter notebooks (.ipynb) files. It solves the problem that notebooks cannot be directly edited in Cursor.

How to use the Jupyter Notebook MCP Server?

By configuring Cursor's MCP server, you can easily enable AI's full editing capabilities for Jupyter notebooks. You can start using it in just a few steps.

Applicable Scenarios

Suitable for users who need to frequently use Jupyter notebooks for data analysis, machine learning model development, and teaching demonstrations.

Main Features

Create Notebook
Create a new empty notebook file in the specified directory.
Delete Notebook
Delete an existing notebook file.
Rename Notebook
Move the notebook file from one path to another.
Read Notebook
Read the entire notebook and return its structure as a dictionary.
Edit Cell
Replace the content of a specific cell.
Export Notebook
Export the notebook to other formats (such as Python script, HTML, etc.).
Advantages
Supports AI to directly edit Jupyter notebooks.
Ensures the integrity of the notebook structure.
Provides a rich set of APIs to operate on notebook content.
Limitations
Does not support cell execution function.
Requires manual configuration of Cursor to use the server.
Some advanced export functions may require additional dependencies (such as LaTeX).

How to Use

Install the Server
Install the server via pip and activate the virtual environment.
Start the Server
Run the server script and specify the allowed root directory.
Configure Cursor
Add the server URL to Cursor's MCP configuration.
