Can I check the real-time performance of a specific campaign?

Yes! Use the `get_campaign_performance` tool with the Campaign ID. Your agent will fetch the latest KPIs including impressions, clicks, and spend directly from the Basis analytics engine.

How do I list all active tactics for my account?

Simply ask the agent to `list_tactics`. It will retrieve the execution-level line items, showing their status and basic configuration for your review.

Does this integration allow making changes to my budgets?

Currently, the toolset is focused on querying and analysis (Read-Only). You can list and inspect campaigns, tactics, and performance, but budget adjustments must be performed within the Basis DSP platform for security.

Basis Technologies + Cursor FAQ

Common questions about integrating Basis Technologies 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.
