Frequently asked questions
Can it search for specific file types like PDFs or PNGs?
Absolutely. Through the list_assets capability, the AI can parse queries finding exactly what format you need among your organization's total index.
Can the AI return download links for an asset?
Yes. Upon locating an asset, you can ask the AI to provide the CDN URL representing the final high-resolution source file directly in the chat.
Is my API token secure during the requests?
Yes. The API Token is encrypted at rest and dynamically injected strictly at the runtime limit inside a secure sandbox container. Keys are never exposed within chat interactions.
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.
