Frequently asked questions
How do I get started?
Subscribe, create a Free BLS Account at data.bls.gov/registrationEngine, and enter your API Key. No complex coding required — your AI will automatically parse the SeriesIDs for Nonfarm Payrolls and wages, retrieving the exact macro snapshots.
Are these numbers seasonally adjusted?
Yes, by default the AI interacts with the Seasonally Adjusted (SA) SeriesIDs for Nonfarm Payrolls, allowing you to track macro trends cleanly without the noise of holiday hiring surges.
Does this include agricultural (farm) jobs?
No. The CES (Current Employment Statistics) specifically tracks Nonfarm payrolls, representing about 80% of workers who produce the entire Gross Domestic Product of the United States.
Can I drill down into specific industries?
Absolutely. Ask your agent to fetch CES data for the 'Information' sector, 'Construction', or 'Leisure and Hospitality' to identify precisely which parts of the economy are hiring or firing.
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.
