Frequently asked questions
How do I find my AfterShip API Key?
Log in to your AfterShip account, navigate to Settings > API Keys. You can generate a new API key there. This key works for both Returns and Tracking APIs.
Can I approve a return request via the agent?
Yes! Use the approve_return tool and provide the Return ID. Your agent will update the status in AfterShip, which can also trigger automatic label generation if configured.
Does this support marking items as received?
Yes, you can use the receive_items tool to record which items from an RMA have arrived at your warehouse and their current condition grade.
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.
Server shows as disconnected
