Can my AI check why a recent data ingestion failed?

Yes. Ask the agent to list the historical runs for a specific flow ID. It will return the execution logs, row counts, and error details, allowing the AI to pinpoint exactly where and why the sync pipeline broke without navigating a UI dashboard.

Which destinations and sources can the agent inventory?

Your agent maps your entire active landscape. It can retrieve both the explicit warehouse targets (e.g. your authorized BigQuery and Snowflake environments) and the vast catalog of pre-built SaaS API connectors available in your Portable environment.

How can I check my workspace extraction limits?

Simply ask the AI to retrieve your account details. It immediately pulls the absolute billing limits, extraction caps, and active feature toggles applied to your organization, providing a clear footprint of your usage.

Portable.io + Cursor FAQ

Common questions about integrating Portable.io 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.
