How do I obtain my GrowthZone API key?

You must request an API key from GrowthZone WebSupport. They will verify your account's API access level and provide the credentials needed to connect your agent.

Can I search for specific members by their email or name?

Yes! Use the `search_contacts` tool. You can provide a name or email address as a query, and the agent will return all matching profiles from your database.

How can I see who is registered for an upcoming event?

Simply ask the agent to list participants for a specific Event ID. It will fetch the registration list and provide names and details of all attendees.

Is the integration secure for managing my association's data?

Absolutely. The connection uses industry-standard API keys and focuses on querying operations. Your credentials are encrypted and stored securely within the Vinkius Cloud infrastructure.

GrowthZone + Cursor FAQ

Common questions about integrating GrowthZone 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.
