Can I convert a document to PDF through the agent?

Yes! Use the `create_conversion_job` tool. You can define an import task for your file and a convert task with `output_format: 'pdf'`. The agent will handle the submission to CloudConvert.

How do I know when my conversion task is finished?

Use the `get_conversion_task_details` tool with your task ID. Your agent will return the current status, and once it shows 'finished', it will provide the download URL.

Where do I find my CloudConvert API Key?

Log in to your CloudConvert dashboard and navigate to **API v2 > API Keys**. You can generate and copy your personal API key from there.

CloudConvert + Cursor FAQ

Common questions about integrating CloudConvert 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.
