Can I capture a payment for an authorized order using my agent?

Yes. Use the `capture_payment` tool with a specific Order UUID. Your agent will trigger the action against your payment provider (e.g., Stripe) to finalize the fund transfer for the order immediately.

How do I check the tax rates and currencies for a specific region?

The `list_regions` tool retrieves all configured geographical zones in Medusa. Your agent will expose the localized currency logic, tax rates, and enabled payment methods assigned to each region.

Can my agent retrieve the detailed variants and prices for a product?

Absolutely. Use the `get_product` tool by providing the Product ID. Your agent will fetch the full object including nested variants, options (size, color), and pricing arrays for all configured regions.

Medusa (Headless E-commerce Engine) + Cursor FAQ

Common questions about integrating Medusa (Headless E-commerce Engine) 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.
