How do I list all users in my Appwrite project?

Use the `list_users` tool. It retrieves a comprehensive list of all registered users, allowing you to audit account statuses and registration activity.

Can I see the data within a specific collection?

Yes! Use the `list_documents` tool by providing the Database ID and Collection ID. Your agent will fetch the documents stored in that collection for auditing and analysis.

How do I check if my Appwrite services are running correctly?

Use the `get_health_status` tool. It provides a real-time overview of the health of various system components, ensuring your infrastructure is operational.

Appwrite + Cursor FAQ

Common questions about integrating Appwrite 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.
