Can I add a new contact to a specific brand using the agent?

Yes! Use the `add_contact` action with the Brand ID and contact details. Your agent will register or update the subscriber in BigMailer instantly.

How do I list all the email lists for a particular brand?

Simply ask the agent to `list_contact_lists` and provide the Brand ID. It will retrieve all the mailing lists associated with that brand.

Does the integration allow me to see the statistics of my bulk campaigns?

Yes. Use the `get_bulk_campaign` tool with the Brand ID and Campaign ID to retrieve performance data and metadata for your marketing efforts.

BigMailer + Cursor FAQ

Common questions about integrating BigMailer 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.
