Are API-created contacts exactly the same as UI-created ones?

Yes contextually. When you execute the `create_contact` function natively alongside `category` parameters (`3` stands for customer, `4` for typical suppliers), sevDesk anchors these entries officially inside the identical primary table. Be clear about whether it's an email-lead versus a firm.

Wait, does my generated API Token expire if left unused?

No. The verified 32-character hexadecimal key token possesses an infinite lifeline inherently tied directly, securely, and stubbornly to your primary login account. It decays or dies primarily upon deliberate manual revocation (regeneration) directly executed by you inside your dashboard user settings.

Can I fetch detailed line items from a single invoice ID using this agent?

Absolutely. Querying `list_invoices` outputs high-level paginated arrays, but invoking the precision extractor `get_invoice` fed deliberately with a target identifier ID unveils the core metadata array detailing isolated tax mappings, due-date boundaries, and intricate line items.

sevDesk + Cursor FAQ

Common questions about integrating sevDesk 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.
