What is the Baidu Qianfan MCP Server?
Connect your AI agents to Baidu Qianfan (百度千帆), the enterprise-grade LLM platform. This MCP provides 10 tools to automate interactions with Ernie Bot and other foundation models, including chat completions, vector embeddings, and prompt engineering.
What you can do
- Model Interaction — Trigger chat completions with Ernie Bot (Turbo/Speed/4.0) using persistent context
- Vector Embeddings — Generate semantic embeddings for text to power RAG and search workflows
- Prompt Engineering — Manage and retrieve centralized prompt templates for consistent model outputs
- Image Generation — Trigger Text-to-Image tasks using Baidu's advanced diffusion models
- Usage Monitoring — Track token consumption and manage model service status programmatically
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Log in to the Baidu Qianfan Console
- Create an application to obtain your API Key and Secret Key
- Enable the models you wish to use (e.g., Ernie-4.0-8K)

Why Cursor?
Cursor's Agent mode turns Baidu Qianfan into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Baidu Qianfan and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 6 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
- —
VS Code extension compatibility means your existing workflow, keybindings, and extensions all work alongside MCP tools

Frequently asked questions
Which version of Ernie Bot should I use for chat?
For high performance and reasoning, use ernie-4.0-8k. For faster response times and cost efficiency, ernie-speed-128k or ernie-lite-8k are excellent choices.
Can I automatically generate embeddings for RAG?
Yes! Use the get_embeddings tool with your text input. The agent will retrieve the vector representations from Baidu's embedding models, ready for indexing in your vector database.
How do I use prompt templates from the console?
Use the list_prompt_templates tool to find your configured templates. You can then retrieve specific details using get_prompt_template to maintain consistency across your AI workflows.
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
Check Settings → Features → MCP and verify the server status. Try clicking the refresh button.
