Frequently asked questions
Can I add a new contact to a specific list from the agent?
Yes! Use the add_contact action with the List ID and contact details. Your agent will register the new subscriber in Benchmark Email instantly.
How do I see the latest results from my email campaigns?
Simply ask the agent to list_reports. You can then use get_report_details with a specific Report ID to see opens, clicks, and other engagement metrics.
Does the integration allow me to send a new email campaign?
Currently, the toolset focuses on management and auditing (listing campaigns, managing contacts, checking reports). Sending or scheduling active campaigns must be done through the Benchmark Email dashboard for safety.
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.
