Can my AI agent write complex GROQ queries for me?

Yes. If you know what data you want but aren't totally familiar with GROQ syntax, you can simply ask your agent: 'Write and execute a GROQ query to find all author documents where the name starts with John and return just their ID and bio.' The agent will draft the query, execute it via the `run_groq_query` tool, and return the filtered JSON.

How do I perform a bulk update on my documents?

You can ask your agent to first fetch the documents (e.g., 'List all posts missing a category'), calculate the changes needed, and then use the `run_raw_mutation` tool or `patch_cms_document` iteratively to apply the updates. This acts as a conversational migration script, updating dozens of documents safely and quickly.

Can the agent check if media assets are missing from my posts?

Yes. The agent can use the document querying tools combined with `list_media_assets` to analyze your content. For instance, you can ask it to generate a report of all products that do not have an associated image reference, giving you an exact list of items to fix in the Studio.

Sanity + Cursor FAQ

Common questions about integrating Sanity 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.
