Frequently asked questions
Can I give a bonus to a colleague using the agent?
Yes! Use the give_bonus tool with the recipient's email, the amount of points, and a reason including hashtags like #teamwork. Your agent will post the recognition to Bonusly instantly.
How do I check my current point balance?
Simply ask the agent to get_my_profile. It will retrieve your personal Bonusly profile, showing your available giving and receiving point balances.
Can I see who the top recognized employees are?
Yes. Use the get_leaderboard tool to retrieve the current recognition rankings, showing the top givers and receivers in your organization.
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.
