Can I list my billable time entries for this week?

Yes! Use the `list_time_entries` tool. The agent will return recent time tracking records, allowing you to audit hours worked across your projects.

How do I check if an invoice has been paid?

Use the `list_invoices` tool. Your agent will fetch the list of invoices along with their current status (e.g., Paid, Outstanding, Overdue).

Where do I find my Cashboard API Key?

Log in to your Cashboard account and look for the 'API' or 'Developer' section in your account settings. If you can't find it, contact Cashboard support.

Cashboard + Cursor FAQ

Common questions about integrating Cashboard 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.
