Can I record a new usage event for a customer?

Yes! Use the `add_cheddar_charge` tool with the customer code, charge code (tracked item), and quantity. The agent will record the usage in Cheddar immediately.

How do I see the billing history for a specific person?

Use the `get_cheddar_customer_details` tool with the unique customer code. Your agent will fetch the full record, including active plans, status, and associated invoices.

Where do I find my Product Secret and Product Code?

Log in to your Cheddar dashboard and look for 'Product Settings'. You can view and copy your unique Product Code and generate a Secret Key from there.

Cheddar + Cursor FAQ

Common questions about integrating Cheddar 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.
