Frequently asked questions
Can I see all the subscribers in a specific list via AI?
Yes! Use the list_acelle_subscribers tool and provide the List UID. Your agent will retrieve the directory of members associated with that mailing list.
How do I add a new subscriber to a list using the agent?
Use the add_acelle_subscriber action. Provide a JSON object with the subscriber's details, including 'EMAIL' and the target 'list_uid'. The agent will instantly register the new member.
Is it possible to check the status of my email campaigns via AI?
Absolutely. Use the list_acelle_campaigns query. The agent will retrieve all your active and past campaigns, allowing you to monitor their delivery status and performance metrics.
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.
Tools not appearing in Cursor
Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.
