How do I get started with OneTrust?

Subscribe, then enter your OneTrust API token (from **Admin Console → Integration → API Access**) and your base URL (e.g., app.onetrust.com or app-eu.onetrust.com). Your AI agent connects instantly. No code, no SDK — just connect and start managing privacy compliance.

Can my AI agent handle GDPR data subject access requests?

Yes. Create DSARs directly from conversation — specify the subject's name, email, and request type (access, deletion, rectification, portability, opt-out). OneTrust automatically calculates regulatory deadlines (30 days for GDPR, 45 days for CCPA) and routes the request to the right handler.

How do I check which vendors have overdue security assessments?

Ask your agent "show me vendors with overdue assessments" and it lists every third-party vendor with their risk score, questionnaire status, and last review date. You see exactly which processors need follow-up — all without logging into OneTrust or switching tabs.

Is this suitable for multi-regulation compliance (GDPR + CCPA + HIPAA)?

Absolutely. OneTrust is built for multi-regulation environments. Browse your entire data inventory mapped to processing purposes and legal bases, track DSARs across any regulation, manage privacy impact assessments, and monitor incidents with regulatory notification requirements — perfect for enterprises, healthcare organizations, and global companies operating across jurisdictions.

OneTrust + Cursor FAQ

Common questions about integrating OneTrust 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.
