Can my agent create a talking avatar using a custom voice ID?

Yes. Use the 'create_talk' tool and specify the TTS provider (microsoft or amazon) and the exact voice ID. The agent will orchestrate the request to generate an avatar that speaks your script with that specific vocal identity.

How do I use a custom image as the source for my talking avatar?

First, use the 'upload_image' tool with a publicly accessible URL of your face image. The agent will upload it to D-ID and return a new internal URL which you can then pass as the 'source_url' in 'create_talk'.

Can I check my remaining D-ID credits through the agent?

Absolutely. Use the 'get_credits' tool. Your agent will pull your current balance and plan info directly from D-ID, helping you manage your video generation limits and quotas through natural conversation.

D-ID + Cursor FAQ

Common questions about integrating D-ID 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.
