Frequently asked questions
Can I add a vote to a post using the agent?
Yes! Use the vote_on_post tool with the Post ID and Voter ID. Your agent will add the vote in Canny, helping prioritize the feedback item.
How do I list all the planned features from a specific board?
Simply ask the agent to list_feedback_posts and provide the Board ID and set the status to planned. It will retrieve all matching posts from your Canny account.
Does the integration allow creating a new feedback post?
Yes. Use the create_feedback_post action and provide the Board ID, Author ID, title, and details. The new item will be added to your Canny board instantly.
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.
