What happens when I purge an asset in imgix?

Using the `purge` tool removes the cached version of the original image and ALL processed derivatives (resized, filtered, etc.) from imgix Edge nodes. This forces the system to re-fetch the file from your origin storage on the next request.

Can I connect my AWS S3 bucket to imgix using my agent?

Absolutely. Use the `create_source` tool and provide your S3 origin base URL. Your agent will handle the backend orchestration to map your storage bucket to a new imgix CDN domain.

How do I check if a source is currently serving traffic?

The `get_source` tool retrieves the real-time status of any imgix source. Your agent will return the deployment type and current state, so you'll know exactly if it's enabled and live.

imgix (Real-time Image Processing) + Cursor FAQ

Common questions about integrating imgix (Real-time Image Processing) 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.
