Can I trigger a browser task with a different starting URL?

Yes! Use the `run_task` tool and provide the Task ID. In the `overrides` field, you can pass a JSON object like `{"url": "https://newsite.com"}` to change the starting point dynamically.

How do I see the screenshot captured by a task?

Simply ask the agent to `get_run` and provide the Run ID. Once the status is 'finished', the response will include a `screenshot_url` that you can click to view the image.

Does the integration allow taking a quick screenshot without a saved task?

Yes. Use the `take_screenshot` action and provide the URL. It will create a simplified run that captures the page and returns the result URL once processed.

Browserbear + Cursor FAQ

Common questions about integrating Browserbear 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.
