Can my AI automatically rewrite an older story using Arc Native Schema and safely publish the update?

Absolutely. Ask your agent to fetch a specific story by its ID. It understands the complex JSON structure of ANS, allows you to instruct it on what changes to make (e.g., 'Update the headline and add this new quote to paragraph 3'), and can dispatch an update command that preserves the content tree without breaking the CMS.

Is it possible to find specific high-res photos inside the ArcXP Media Library using natural language?

Yes! Use the photo assets search action to query tags or captions using descriptive words. The AI fetches the asset ID, caption, credit strings, and directly accessible image URLs, letting you browse your editorial imagery seamlessly.

Can I query what articles a specific editor has authored?

Yes! You can retrieve the Editor ID from the Author service and run an Elasticsearch query targeting their author object in the search tool. This quickly compiles all the CMS output for that specific reporter.

ArcXP + Cursor FAQ

Common questions about integrating ArcXP 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.
