Frequently asked questions
Can I send a physical check through the agent?
Yes! Use the send_physical_check tool. Provide the recipient's name, email, and amount. Checkbook.io will print and mail a physical check to the recipient.
How do I check if a check has been deposited?
Use the get_check_details tool with the unique check ID. Your agent will fetch the current status (e.g., IN_PROCESS, PAID, VOID).
Where do I find my Checkbook API Key and Secret?
Log in to your Checkbook.io account and navigate to Settings -> Developer. You can generate and copy your API Key and Secret from that section.
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.
