Purpose

Install and register plex-mcp without embedding secrets.

Verified

Ubuntu / WSL

1. bash scripts/setup_cursor_wsl.sh — venv, .[dev,sync], catalog FTS
2. Non-secret .env: PLEX_TENANT_ID, PLEX_BASE_URL
3. Infisical login or INFISICAL_TOKEN / ~/.config/plex-mcp/infisical.token
4. Launch: ./run-mcp.sh

Cursor

~/.cursor/mcp.json → wsl.exe → bash …/plex_mcp/run-mcp.sh (stdio).

Smoke: plex_whoami → configured=true, live_check=ok.
