Can I see who the most recent members to join are?

Yes! Use the `list_community_members` tool. The agent will return a list of members, and you can see their join dates and profile details directly.

How do I see the comments for a specific post?

Use the `list_post_comments` tool with the unique post ID. Your agent will fetch all comments, allowing you to review the discussion without leaving your chat.

Where do I find my Circle API Token?

Log in to your Circle community as an admin, go to **Settings**, and select **API**. You can generate and copy your token from that section.

Circle.so + Cursor FAQ

Common questions about integrating Circle.so 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.
