Your Question

I made a mcp server in C# in mode SSE . In cursor I added it like that :
"jira": {
"url": "http://localhost:56137/sse",
"headers": {
"email": "toto@mimi.com",
"apiToken": "XXXXXXXXX"
}
}

How can i get the headers from the mcp.json file on my mcp server tools ?

I think it should be possible to bind to IHttpContentAccessor using DI in your tool's constructor parameters.

Yes, I did but my headers (email and apiToken) don't show up...
