FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I list all my active legal matters using my AI agent?

Yes! Use the list_matters tool to retrieve a comprehensive list of all legal matters registered in your Actionstep system.

How do I check details for a specific matter?

Simply provide the Matter ID to the get_matter_details tool. Your agent will fetch the full metadata, status, and assigned team.

Does it support OAuth 2.0 authentication?

Yes, it uses OAuth 2.0. You'll need to generate a Client ID and Client Secret in your developer portal to create an access token.

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.
