Can my AI use existing wiki guidelines to write new code or copy?

Absolutely. You can request your agent to 'search the Slab wiki for our Frontend Coding Standards' or 'find our Brand Voice Guidelines'. The agent will retrieve the exact Markdown content of those articles and use them as system instructions for the rest of your conversation.

How do I easily publish my AI chat output back to Slab?

When your AI agent generates a good technical specification or summary, simply tell it: 'Create a new post in Slab called [Name], using this entire response as the content, and place it in the Engineering topic.' The agent will format the Markdown and publish it immediately through the `create_post` tool.

Can my agent clean up outdated company documentation?

Yes. If an article is deprecated, you can tell your AI: 'Archive the post with ID XYZ' or 'Find the old setup guide and archive it.' The agent can execute the `archive_post` command to hide outdated information and keep your knowledge base pristine.

Slab + Cursor FAQ

Common questions about integrating Slab 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.
