Does this support AI21's Jamba models?

Yes. You can invoke the chat completion tool and instruct your agent to use specific model parameters like 'jamba-1.5-large' or 'jamba-1.5-mini' directly to leverage their native SSM-Transformer hybrid architecture.

Why use the specific summarization endpoint instead of a generic prompt?

AI21 has trained dedicated models purely for tasks like summarization and grammatical correction. Using these specialized task endpoints often yields much higher reliability, speed, and fidelity than trying to force a conversational chatbot to do the exact same task.

What languages are supported for grammar corrections?

Currently, AI21's dedicated Grammar and Paraphrase tools perform spectacularly on English, with varying outcomes for other localized languages. It is highly recommended to check their official documentation for the exact status of multi-language support boundaries.

AI21 Studio + Cursor FAQ

Common questions about integrating AI21 Studio 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.
