How do I find my Akeneo API credentials?

Log in to Akeneo, navigate to **Connect** > **Connection settings**, and create a new connection. You will generate a Client ID, Secret, and a system user with its own Username and Password for the API.

Can I update product attributes via the agent?

Yes! Use the `update_product` tool and provide the product identifier along with the attributes you want to change. Your agent will submit a PATCH request to synchronize the data.

What is the difference between SKU and UUID in Akeneo?

The SKU (identifier) is your internal product code. The UUID is a unique system identifier generated by Akeneo. While both can be used, UUIDs are recommended for permanent links as identifiers can technically be changed.

Akeneo PIM + Cursor FAQ

Common questions about integrating Akeneo PIM 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.
