FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How can I see which templates are available in my Bannerbear project?

You can use the list_templates tool. It will return a list of all templates associated with your API key, including their names and unique UIDs.

Can I generate a video using this integration?

Yes! Use the create_video tool by providing a video template UID and the necessary input data for the frames. The AI will handle the request and return the video details.

How do I check if my image has finished rendering?

Use the get_image tool with the image UID. It will return the current status (e.g., 'completed') and the public URL of the image once it is ready.

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.
