Frequently asked questions
Can I see my bandwidth usage for this month?
Yes! Use the get_cloudinary_usage_report tool. The agent will return core usage statistics, including current bandwidth and storage utilization compared to your plan limits.
How do I find all images tagged with 'summer'?
Use the search_media_library tool with an expression like tags:summer. Your agent will fetch all matching resources directly from your library.
Where do I find my Cloudinary API Secret and Cloud Name?
Log in to your Cloudinary Console. You can find your Cloud Name, API Key, and API Secret on the Dashboard main page under 'Account Details'.
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
