Can my AI agent manually index new pages?

Yes. If you provide the AddSearch Secret Key, your agent can use the `index_document` tool. You can supply a URL and a JSON payload containing the title and body, and the agent will push it directly into your live search index without waiting for the web scraper.

What kind of search analytics can I retrieve?

Using the Secret Key, your agent can call two analytics endpoints: `stats_queries` (to see what users searched for, including top searches and zero-result queries) and `stats_clicks` (to see the click-through rates and popular URLs users navigated to from the search bar).

Do I need the Secret Key if I just want to test search queries?

No, if your goal is solely to run searches, paginate results, or check auto-suggestions, the public 'Site Key' is completely sufficient. The Secret Key is only required to list all documents, modify the index, and fetch analytics.

AddSearch + Cursor FAQ

Common questions about integrating AddSearch 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.
