FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I see exactly what text changed on a page between the last two checks?

Yes! Use the get_snapshot_diff tool with the watch UUID. It will return the specific differences between the current state and the previous snapshot.

How do I trigger an immediate recheck of a specific website?

You can use the get_watch tool and set the recheck parameter to '1'. This forces the server to fetch the latest version of the page immediately.

Can I filter my monitors by tags using the AI?

Absolutely. When using list_watches, you can provide a tag name to filter the results and only see monitors associated with that specific category.

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.
