## Title

    [Cursor SDK] Inline MCP server rejected: 'Unsupported MCP server type "streamable-http" for "<name>"' — only stdio, http, sse accepted

## Body

    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.
    
    Search phrasings: Cursor SDK Unsupported MCP server type; Cursor mcp.json streamable-http type; Invalid inline MCP server config Cursor
    
    Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): public_source.
