Does Parkopedia cover EV charging stations?

Yes! The search_ev_charging tool finds EV chargers globally. Use get_ev_charger_details to see connector types (CCS, CHAdeMO, Tesla, etc.) and power output.

Can I check parking restrictions before parking?

Yes! Use get_parking_restrictions with coordinates to see legal limits, time bans, and resident-only rules. Essential for avoiding tickets.

Is real-time occupancy data available?

Where supported by the operator, get_occupancy returns the number of available vs total spaces in real-time. Availability varies by location.

Parkopedia + Cursor FAQ

Common questions about integrating Parkopedia 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.
