Can I search for a specific lead or contact by name?

Yes! Use the `list_contacts` tool and provide the `search_text` parameter with the name, email, or details you are looking for. The agent will return the matching profiles.

How do I review the chat history of a conversation?

First, use `list_chats` to find the active or historical session. Then, use `get_chat_history` with the Chat ID to retrieve the full log of messages.

Can I send an OTP SMS to a user?

Yes. Use the `send_otp` action and provide the user's phone number (with the country code). BotPenguin will handle the integration to send the verification code.

BotPenguin + Cursor FAQ

Common questions about integrating BotPenguin 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.
