Frequently asked questions
Can I check the total play count for an episode using the agent?
Yes! Use the get_episode tool with the Episode ID. Your agent will fetch the detailed metadata, which includes the total_plays field for that specific episode.
How do I update the description of a podcast episode?
Simply ask the agent to update_episode and provide the Episode ID and the new description. The information will be synchronized with Buzzsprout immediately.
Does the integration allow uploading new audio files?
Currently, the toolset focuses on managing metadata, status, and analytics. Creating an episode via create_episode allows setting the title and description, but the audio file upload should be managed through the Buzzsprout web interface.
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
