Can my agent grade my content drafts in real-time?

Yes. Provide the report ID and your content text. The agent calls Clearscope's NLP engine to return an exact SEO grade (from A++ to F), identifying which terms you've covered and which ones are missing for optimal ranking.

How can I extract the structural outline of my top search competitors?

Use the 'get_outline' tool. Your agent will fetch the H2 and H3 heading hierarchies from the top-ranking results for your keyword, helping you understand the document structure needed to compete on Google.

Does the agent help with keyword research and traffic volume?

Absolutely. The 'get_keyword_research' tool provides search volume, CPC, and competitiveness data directly from Clearscope's database. This allows your agent to suggest target keywords based on actual market demand.

Clearscope + Cursor FAQ

Common questions about integrating Clearscope 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.
