How do I find my Emma API Keys?

Log in to your Emma account, click on your name in the top right, go to 'Account Settings', and then select 'API Key'. You will find your Account ID, Public Key, and Private Key there.

What is the difference between a group and a segment?

In Emma, a group is a static collection of members you've explicitly added. A segment is a dynamic group based on rules (like 'opened last email'). This server currently focuses on managing static groups.

Can I see my custom member data fields?

Yes! Use the `list_fields` tool to retrieve all standard and custom member data fields defined in your account.

Emma + Cursor FAQ

Common questions about integrating Emma 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.
