Is a Personal Access Token (PAT) mandatory to use this server?

No. Modrinth allows public searching and browsing without a token. However, providing a PAT increases your rate limits and ensures smoother operation during heavy usage.

Can I check the members of a mod's development team?

Yes! Use the `get_team_members` tool with the project's slug or ID to see the list of authors and contributors.

How do I see what other mods a project requires?

Use the `get_project_dependencies` tool to retrieve a list of all required and optional dependencies for a specific mod or pack.

Modrinth + Cursor FAQ

Common questions about integrating Modrinth 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.
