Why Cursor?

Cursor's Agent mode turns Asana into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Asana and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 11 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.

—
Agent mode turns Cursor into an autonomous coding assistant that can read files, run commands, and call MCP tools without switching context
—
Cursor's Composer feature can generate entire files using real-time data fetched through MCP. no copy-pasting from external dashboards
—
MCP tools appear alongside built-in tools like file reading and terminal access, creating a unified agentic environment
—

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can my AI automatically find the details and status of a specific task just by providing the Task GID?

Yes! Use the get_task tool with exactly the Task Global ID. Your agent will respond with complete metadata, assignee fields, and precise operational notes connected to that active ticket in seconds.

How do I easily list all the columns in an active agile sprint board?

Simply ask the agent to run the list_sections action on the target Project GID. It will compile all column phases (e.g., 'To Do', 'In Progress', 'QA') configured for that environment.

Does the integration permit modifying or deleting my workspace configurations?

No. The core set of tools focuses strictly on heavily querying and analyzing context—listing projects, analyzing metadata, checking tasks. State alteration operations are not currently exposed, assuring your workspaces are secure against destructive queries.

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.
