Can I trigger a data extraction for a specific URL?

Yes! Use the `run_robot` tool with the Robot ID and the target URL (`origin_url`). Your agent will create a new task in Browse AI to extract the data instantly.

How do I retrieve the data once a robot finishes its task?

Simply ask the agent to `get_task` and provide the Task ID. If the status is 'successful', it will return the JSON structure containing all the captured data fields.

Can I list all the robots I have trained in my account?

Yes. Use the `list_robots` tool. It will retrieve all the approved robots currently available in your Browse AI dashboard, including their names and unique IDs.

Browse AI + Cursor FAQ

Common questions about integrating Browse AI 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.
