How do I find my Facebook Ad Account ID?

You can find your Ad Account ID in the **Meta Ads Manager**. It's the numeric ID shown in the URL or account selector. Ensure you provide it without the 'act_' prefix.

Can I pause an underperforming campaign using this agent?

Yes! Use the `update_campaign_status` tool and set the status to `PAUSED`. You can also resume it later by setting it back to `ACTIVE`.

Which performance metrics are available in the insights?

The `get_insights` tool provides comprehensive data including impressions, clicks, total spend, reach, CPC (cost per click), CTR (click-through rate), and CPP (cost per purchase).

Facebook Ads + Cursor FAQ

Common questions about integrating Facebook Ads 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.
