Why is the pack_codebase task grayed out in my MCP server config in Cursor?

[PaulRBerg]

I followed the instructions in the README and added repomix in MCP config in Cursor (I've installed repomix using Homebrew):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "repomix": {
      "command": "repomix",
      "args": [
        "--mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

But the pack_codebase task is grayed out. Why?

You might have accidentally clicked on the pack_codebase tool. In Cursor, clicking on tools toggles them ON/OFF.

Try clicking on it once to enable it - it should become highlighted/active like the other tools.

Oh yeah I might have done that. Clicking it now has made the gray-out go away.

I didn't know about this, thanks for showing me the ropes!
