Where do I find my Convertio API Key?

Log in to the Convertio developer dashboard at developers.convertio.co. Go to 'API Keys' in the account menu, click 'Generate', copy the key, and paste it below.

Are there file size limitations?

Yes. Limits depend on your Convertio billing plan. Free tiers have strict file size limits and usage quotas. The integration passes files through the API transparently — your plan determines the max capacity.

Does the agent download the converted file automatically?

No. For security, the agent provides you with the download URL once the conversion finishes. You decide when and where to save the file.

Convertio + Cursor FAQ

Common questions about integrating Convertio 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.
