How do I get an Elemeno API Key?

Log in to your Elemeno dashboard, select your project, navigate to **Settings > API**, and you can retrieve your unique API Key from there.

Does the integration support draft content?

Yes, you can use the list_collection_items tool to see all items, including their status (e.g., draft or published). Specific content retrieval depends on your API key permissions.

Can the agent update content via the API?

This integration currently focuses on listing and auditing content. Creating or updating items and singletons should be managed via the Elemeno dashboard or specific management API endpoints.

Elemeno + Cursor FAQ

Common questions about integrating Elemeno 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.
