Frequently asked questions
Can my AI analyze the full content of an already published article?
Absolutely. Through the generic get_post_details tool using a targeted URL slug, the agent actively retrieves the article content boundaries directly from ButterCMS, letting you check formatting errors inside the markup natively.
Does it connect out to our Custom Pages or specifically built Collections?
Yes. Beyond just basic blog articles, the agent explores specific array bounds pulling the 'list_custom_pages' endpoint isolating pure localized architectures and fields.
Will it discover writers or tags independently mapping cross-relations?
Yes! Running standard category lists returns an exact enumeration mapping taxonomy arrays straight into conversational strings. Ask the bot 'Who are our CMS authors?' and watch the results.
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.
