What is envmcp?
EnvMCP is a tool designed to facilitate the management and usage of environment variables within Cursor MCP server configurations. It loads environment variables from a specified file or the default '.env.mcp' in your home directory, then executes the given command with these variables accessible. This approach improves secret management, enables seamless configuration, and reduces hardcoding sensitive data into server scripts. It supports custom environment files and integrates easily into existing workflows, making environment management more secure and efficient for developers working with Cursor MCP servers.
