Can I check the balance of any Bitcoin address?

Yes! Use the `get_address` tool with the public Bitcoin address. Your agent will fetch the current balance (in Satoshis) and the transaction history directly from the blockchain.

How do I see the current price of Bitcoin in USD?

Simply ask the agent to `get_ticker`. It will retrieve the latest exchange rates for BTC across multiple currencies, including USD, EUR, and GBP.

Does the integration allow sending Bitcoin?

No. For security reasons, the current toolset is focused exclusively on blockchain data discovery and analysis (Read-Only). Sending transactions requires a private wallet and specialized signing procedures not supported by this data-centric server.

Blockchain.com Data + Cursor FAQ

Common questions about integrating Blockchain.com Data 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.
