Can I check if my automations failed recently through the agent?

Yes. The `list_recipe_jobs` tool allows your AI agent to retrieve the execution history for any recipe ID, showing you which jobs succeeded and which encountered errors so you can monitor health through chat.

How do I know if an app connection is still active?

You can use the `list_app_connections` tool. It will return all configured connections in your Workato account along with their current status, helping you identify disconnected apps immediately.

Can I see which workflows are available as REST APIs?

Absolutely. Use the `get_api_collections` tool to retrieve a list of all API collections exposed by your Workato tenant, showing you which recipes are ready for external invocation.

Workato + Cursor FAQ

Common questions about integrating Workato 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.
