MCP Jetpack - One MCP Server for 15+ Services

MCP Jetpack connects Cursor AI to GitHub, Linear, Atlassian, Notion and more without managing individual MCP servers. Auto-discovers tools, bypasses Cursor 50-tool limit.

TL;DR

TL;DR: MCP Jetpack is a single MCP server that acts as a router to 15+ services (GitHub, Linear, Atlassian, Notion, etc.) — giving Cursor AI access to all of them without installing separate servers or hitting the 50-tool limit.

What Is MCP Jetpack?

MCP Jetpack solves two problems with MCP in Cursor AI: setup friction and tool count limits.

Normally, connecting Cursor to GitHub requires finding the right MCP server, installing it, configuring authentication, and repeating that for every service. MCP Jetpack collapses this into a single server that auto-discovers and executes the right tools behind the scenes.

For developers who want Cursor to have context about their GitHub issues, Linear tickets, or Notion pages, the traditional path means installing multiple MCP servers — each adding dozens of tools. Cursor warns that more than 50 MCP tools degrades performance. GitHub’s MCP server alone registers 74 tools.

MCP Jetpack exposes all connected services through just two tools: FindTool and ExecTool. The server routes requests to the right underlying service automatically.

How It Works

Connecting to Cursor

Add MCP Jetpack to Cursor’s MCP settings. After that, ask Cursor to interact with any connected service — GitHub, Linear, Atlassian, Notion, and others — directly from the chat.

On the first interaction with a service that requires authentication, Cursor prompts for login. Once authenticated, subsequent requests go through automatically without context switching.

The Tool Limit Workaround

| Approach | Tools Added | Services Covered | |---|---|---| | Individual MCP servers | 50+ (Cursor warning threshold) | 1 each | | MCP Jetpack | 2 (FindTool, ExecTool) | 15+ |

Supported Services

Based on the launch announcement, MCP Jetpack connects to services including:

  • GitHub
  • Linear
  • Atlassian (Jira, Confluence)
  • Notion
  • And other services via remote MCP protocol

Setup

# Add to Cursor MCP settings (settings.json or Cursor's MCP UI)
# The exact configuration depends on your Cursor version

After adding the server, you can start using natural language to interact with connected services:

"Show me my open GitHub issues"      → MCP Jetpack routes to GitHub MCP
"Create a Linear ticket for this"    → MCP Jetpack routes to Linear MCP
"Summarize my Notion page"           → MCP Jetpack routes to Notion MCP

Why It Matters

MCP’s promise is a universal tool layer for AI assistants. The friction has been installing and managing dozens of servers and keeping authentication fresh. MCP Jetpack reduces the operational overhead to a single connection point.

For teams using Cursor across multiple SaaS tools, this removes the per-service configuration step. The alternative — installing individual servers — means tracking changelogs, re-authenticating, and managing a growing list of MCP configs.

FAQ

Q: Does MCP Jetpack work with editors other than Cursor? A: The launch post mentions Cursor specifically, but MCP is an open protocol. Any AI application with MCP support should be able to connect to MCP Jetpack as a standard MCP server.

Q: Is there a GitHub repository? A: The project was announced on HN but no public GitHub URL was shared in the launch thread. Check mcpjetpack.com for the latest links.

Q: Which services are supported beyond the ones mentioned? A: The launch thread references 15+ services in total. The exact list is available at mcpjetpack.com.

Q: Is this free? A: Pricing details were not included in the launch announcement. Visit the project page for the latest.

Conclusion

MCP Jetpack reduces MCP from a multi-server configuration problem to a single connection. The two-tool interface for 15+ services is a practical tradeoff for developers who want Cursor to have access to their full tool ecosystem without hitting the per-editor tool limit.

If you use Cursor with multiple SaaS dev tools, MCP Jetpack is worth evaluating as your MCP entry point. Check mcpjetpack.com for setup instructions and the current list of supported services.
