Frequently asked questions
Can I check if a video has been processed and is active?
Yes! Use the get_video tool with the Video ID. Your agent will fetch the current state, showing if it is 'ACTIVE', 'INACTIVE', or still being processed.
How do I list all the videos with a specific tag?
Simply ask the agent to list_videos and provide a search query like tags:summer. It will retrieve all matching media assets from your library.
Does the integration allow creating a new playlist?
Yes. Use the create_playlist action and provide a name and type (e.g., EXPLICIT or SMART). You can then organize your videos into this new collection.
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.
