Can my agent list all active projects in Forecast?

Yes. Use the 'list_projects' tool. The agent will retrieve the global array of all managed projects mapped inside your Forecast account, including their names and unique IDs.

How do I check a specific team member's availability via chat?

Use the 'list_people' tool. Your agent will fetch the physical identity definitions and availability constraints of global members, allowing you to monitor team utilization and workload natively.

Can I see the upcoming milestones for a project through the agent?

Absolutely. Use the 'list_milestones' tool with the specific Project ID. The agent will identify timebox markers bounding specific sprint or deliverable targets for that project natively.

Forecast + Cursor FAQ

Common questions about integrating Forecast 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.
