How do I find my QWeather API Key?

Log in to the [QWeather Developer Console](https://dev.qweather.com/), create a project, and your API Key will be displayed in the project settings. Ensure you select the correct key type (Web API).

What is the difference between dev and commercial plans?

The 'dev' plan uses `devapi.qweather.com` and has limited data frequency and locations. Commercial plans (standard/premium) use `api.qweather.com` and provide higher resolution data and broader global coverage. Set your `qweather_plan` in the credentials to use the correct endpoint.

Can I query weather by coordinates?

Yes! You can pass coordinates in the format `longitude,latitude` (e.g., '116.41,39.92') to any tool that accepts a `location` parameter.

QWeather / 和风天气 + Cursor FAQ

Common questions about integrating QWeather / 和风天气 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.
