Can my AI agent find a specific task by its human-readable code like WEB-42?

Yes! Use the `get_task_by_code` tool with the task code (e.g., WEB-42). Your agent will return the full task details including description, assignees, workflow status, labels, sprint association, time estimates, and checklist progress — in seconds.

I want to quickly see what I need to work on today. Can the agent help?

Absolutely. Use `my_today_tasks` to see everything due today, or `my_tasks` for your full assignment list across all workspaces. The agent returns task titles, project context, due dates, and current workflow status — your daily standup briefing in one command.

Can the agent manage task assignments and checklists too?

Yes. Use `assign_member` and `unassign_member` to manage task assignments by username. For checklists, use `create_checklist_item` to add items (including nested sub-items via parent_id), and `toggle_checklist_item` to mark them done. The complete task lifecycle is covered — from creation to completion.

GitScrum Tasks + Cursor FAQ

Common questions about integrating GitScrum Tasks 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.
