Can my agent keep track of incremental updates to my CMS items?

Yes. The agent has tools specifically designed to fetch incremental updates using a sync token. It can request only the CMS items or pages that have changed (created, updated, or deleted) since the last automated sync, optimizing fetch latency.

How do I find the correct Reference Name to query content?

Reference Names match the identifiers predefined in your Agility CMS Models architecture (such as 'articles', 'authors', or 'posts'). If you are unsure, ask the agent to scan common variables based on your company's naming conventions.

Can my agent preview unpublished drafting content?

That depends on the API Token you supply during the integration. If you provide a Preview API Key, the agent will have read-access to the staging and drafted documents. If you provide a Fetch API key, it will only see published items.

Agility CMS + Cursor FAQ

Common questions about integrating Agility CMS 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.
