Can I see if a client has opened my proposal using the agent?

Yes! Use the `get_proposal` tool with the Proposal ID. Your agent will fetch the latest status, which includes whether the proposal has been viewed, signed, or paid.

How do I list all my saved proposal templates?

Simply ask the agent to `list_templates`. It will retrieve all the proposal templates available in your account for you to review and use.

Does the integration allow me to create a new contact?

Yes! Use the `create_contact` action with the name and email. Your agent will register the new contact in your Better Proposals CRM instantly.

Better Proposals + Cursor FAQ

Common questions about integrating Better Proposals 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.
