Neon smithery fails to connect to MCP in Cursor

I'm having a nextjs project and trying to execute generated cli command by Smithery which looks like this:

npx -y @smithery/cli@latest run neon --config "{\"neonApiKey\":\"{API_KEY}\"}"

npx -y @smithery/cli@latest run neon --config "{\"neonApiKey\":\"{API_KEY}\"}"

but when executed in cli cursor I'm getting back following error:

  ]
}

The Smithery deployment issue has been fixed. You should be able to install the server now.
