How do I get an Endear API Key?

Log in to your Endear dashboard, navigate to **Settings > API**, and you can generate or retrieve your unique API Key from there. API access is typically available on professional and enterprise plans.

Can the agent send messages to customers?

This integration currently focuses on listing and auditing customers, notes, and orders. Sending outbound SMS or emails via Endear should be managed through the Endear mobile app or dashboard clienteling interface.

Does the integration show real-time stock levels?

You can retrieve product metadata using the list_retail_products tool. While it shows current product availability, detailed granular inventory across all locations should be confirmed within the Endear inventory module.

Endear Retail CRM + Cursor FAQ

Common questions about integrating Endear Retail CRM 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.
