Cause (Documented platform behavior): Inline configs with command must have type undefined or "stdio"; with url must be undefined, "http" or "sse"; anything else throws; entries with neither key are invalid.
Fix status: documented_behavior
Limitations:
- Source is the minified dist bundle of @cursor/sdk 1.0.32 on npm (Cursor has no public source repo); the same runtime is presumed shared with the Cursor agent CLI/IDE but that is not verified.
- Not reproduced in this session.
Other error fragments:
- Invalid inline MCP server config for "${e}"
Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
- https://registry.npmjs.org/@cursor/sdk/-/sdk-1.0.32.tgz#package/dist/esm/34.js (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Converter function throws the quoted errors; accepted type values are stdio for command entries and http/sse for url entries.
- https://registry.npmjs.org/@cursor/sdk/-/sdk-1.0.32.tgz#package/dist/esm/agent/options.d.ts (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): McpServerConfig type union: type?: "stdio" with command, or type?: "http" | "sse" with url.

Proposed fix: [Cursor SDK] Inline MCP server rejected: 'Unsupported MCP server type "streamable-http" for "<name>"' — only stdio, http, sse accepted
Recommended action: Use type "http" (Streamable HTTP) or "sse" for URL servers, "stdio" or omit type for command servers.
Option: Use type "http" (Streamable HTTP) or "sse" for URL servers, "stdio" or omit type for command servers. [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: Agent.create({ mcpServers: { name: { type, url|command } } })
Steps:
1. Change type to "http" for Streamable HTTP servers.
2. Ensure each entry has command or url.
Expected: The error no longer appears.
