How do I get an Omni BI API Key?

Log in to your Omni instance, navigate to user settings or organization settings, and look for the API Tokens section to generate a new token.

Can I run raw SQL queries?

This implementation uses the `run_omni_query` tool which interacts with your defined data models (semantic layer). Raw SQL access depends on your specific model configuration in Omni.

What formats are supported for data export?

The `export_query_results` tool supports CSV, JSON, and XLSX formats. You will receive a temporary URL to download the requested file.

Omni BI Intelligence + Cursor FAQ

Common questions about integrating Omni BI Intelligence 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.
