Can I check the references for a specific applicant?

Yes! Use the `list_references` tool with the Applicant's GUID. Your agent will fetch the list of names, companies, and contact details for the references provided by the candidate.

How do I list all the active job postings?

Simply ask the agent to `list_jobs`. It will retrieve the current job openings from your BrightMove ATS account, including titles and status information.

Does the integration allow creating a new candidate profile?

The current toolset is focused on querying and monitoring (Read-Only) to ensure data integrity. Creating or updating applicant records should be done through the BrightMove web interface or your careers page.

BrightMove + Cursor FAQ

Common questions about integrating BrightMove 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.
