How do I get ACRCloud credentials?

Sign up at the [**ACRCloud Console**](https://console.acrcloud.com/), create a 'Music Recognition' project, and you will find your Access Key, Secret, and Host in the project settings.

Which audio formats are supported for identification?

ACRCloud supports most common audio formats including MP3, WAV, AAC, and OGG. The agent will download the file from the provided URL and send it for fingerprinting.

Can I find the ISRC code for a specific track?

Yes! When you identify a song or search for metadata, the `acr_music_search` tool returns industry-standard identifiers like ISRC, allowing you to track specific recordings across different systems.

ACRCloud Music Recognition + Cursor FAQ

Common questions about integrating ACRCloud Music Recognition MCP Server with Cursor.

What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?

Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.

Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?

Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.

Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?

No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.

How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?

Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
