Frequently asked questions
How do I get started with the Best Buy integration?
Subscribe, enter your API credentials (just your API Key generated from developer.bestbuy.com → My Apps), and you're ready. No code, no setup, no webhooks — just connect and start exploring retail data through your AI agent. Takes only 30 seconds — no secondary OAuth apps, no logs.
Can my AI agent check if a specific TV is available at my local store?
Yes. Your agent queries the exact SKU against real-time local inventories using your ZIP code or Store ID. It returns exact quantities and pickup availability instantly without you ever opening the website.
What happens when I need to compare highly-rated products before a purchase?
Just ask your AI agent. It actively parses Best Buy's endpoint for items matching your criteria, filtering only for top-tier ratings and summarizing user reviews—all in a single conversation, accelerating your decision-making.
Can I automate pulling product data and images for my affiliate marketing site?
Absolutely. Program the agent to fetch bulk product schemas, including high-res URLs, precise dimensions, and technical specifications, which is perfect for e-commerce developers maintaining synchronized comparison sites.
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.
