Can I preview how much a customer will be charged before updating their subscription?

Yes. The `preview_subscription` tool simulates a run of the billing engine for a specific subscription ID. Your AI agent will return the projected charges and billing dates without committing any actual changes to the account.

How do I see the invoice history for a specific billing account?

You can use the `get_invoices` tool. Provide the unique Zuora account ID or number, and your agent will retrieve a list of all invoices generated for that customer, helping you audit their billing history.

Is it possible to update a customer's billing contact info via chat?

Absolutely. Using the `update_account` tool, you can provide a JSON payload with updated fields (e.g., billing email or address) for a specific account ID, and your agent will apply the changes in Zuora instantly.

Zuora + Cursor FAQ

Common questions about integrating Zuora 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.
