How do I find my Gitee Personal Access Token?

Log in to Gitee, go to [Settings -> Personal Access Tokens](https://gitee.com/profile/personal_access_tokens), and click 'Generate new token'. Make sure to copy it immediately as it won't be shown again.

Can I read the content of a file in a private repository?

Yes, as long as your Personal Access Token has the necessary permissions (scopes) to access your private repositories, the `get_file_content` tool will work perfectly.

Is it possible to filter issues by their state?

Yes. When using `list_repo_issues`, you can provide an optional `state` parameter (e.g., 'open', 'closed', or 'all') to filter the results according to your needs.

Gitee + Cursor FAQ

Common questions about integrating Gitee 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.
