How do I get an Elastic Email API Key?

Log in to your Elastic Email dashboard, navigate to **Settings > API**, and you can generate or retrieve your unique API Key from there. Ensure the key has the necessary permissions for campaigns and contacts.

Can the agent send new email broadcasts?

This integration currently focuses on listing and auditing campaigns, lists, and contacts. Scheduling or sending actual email broadcasts should be managed via the Elastic Email campaign builder or SMTP interface.

Does the integration show real-time delivery status?

Yes, you can use the list_delivery_logs tool to retrieve the latest transmission events and statuses as reported by the Elastic Email platform.

Elastic Email + Cursor FAQ

Common questions about integrating Elastic Email 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.
