Frequently asked questions
Can I enrich a professional profile using a LinkedIn URL?
Yes! Use the enrich_person tool and provide the li_profile_url. Your agent will trigger the enrichment in Captain Data and return the detailed profile data.
How do I check my remaining API credits?
Simply ask the agent to get_api_quotas. It will retrieve your current usage and remaining quotas for different types of operations from your Captain Data account.
Does the integration allow finding companies by their domain name?
Yes. Use the find_company tool and provide the domain (e.g., 'google.com'). It will retrieve the basic company identifiers and metadata from the Captain Data database.
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.
