Can I automatically list all active users in an Agora channel?

Yes! Use the `list_channel_users` tool with the project AppID and the target Channel Name. Your agent will return a list of UIDs currently connected to that session.

How do I start a cloud recording session via the AI agent?

Use the `start_cloud_recording` tool with the necessary parameters (AppID, Channel Name, and recording config). The agent will trigger the Agora cloud recording engine and return the Resource ID and SID.

Can I monitor the total minutes consumed by my project this month?

Yes! The `get_usage_metrics` tool retrieves granular consumption data, including audio and video minutes, filtered by date range or project.

Agora + Cursor FAQ

Common questions about integrating Agora 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.
