Frequently asked questions
Can my AI draft a post and immediately schedule it?
Yes! The create_update tool is specifically designed for this. You can list your profiles to fetch the correct profile IDs, and then instruct the agent to write a post. The agent will push the new content using the IDs as target destinations. If you omit the explicit time, it falls back to the next empty spot in the profile's schedule.
Can the agent shuffle my pending queue if I don't like the order?
Yes. If you have loaded 20 evergreen posts into your Buffer, you can simply ask the agent to "shuffle the queue for my Twitter profile." It will invoke the shuffle_queue endpoint to mix up all pending un-timed updates, keeping your timeline fresh.
Is there a risk that my AI posts something to the wrong account?
The integration mandates profile IDs explicitly inside the payload. As a safety net, always instruct your AI to list your pending posts and verify the target profile string names before pulling the trigger on production updates. The agent behaves deterministically with tools.
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.
