Can I see the agenda for my next board meeting?

Yes! Use the `get_meeting` tool with the Meeting ID. Your agent will fetch the latest details, including the agenda and scheduled time, directly from BoardEffect.

How do I list all the members of a specific committee?

Simply ask the agent to `list_members`. You can then inspect individual member profiles or use the `list_workrooms` tool to see which members are assigned to specific committee spaces.

Does the integration allow me to archive a project?

Currently, the toolset focuses on querying and monitoring (Read-Only). You can list and inspect meetings, members, and archives, but archiving active projects or deleting data must be done through the BoardEffect platform for security and compliance.

BoardEffect + Cursor FAQ

Common questions about integrating BoardEffect 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.
