Frequently asked questions
Do I need an API key?
No! CoinCap's API is completely free and requires no authentication. Just subscribe and start querying. Rate limit is 30 requests/second on the free tier.
What cryptocurrencies are supported?
CoinCap tracks thousands of cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, XRP, Cardano, Dogecoin, Avalanche, Polkadot and many more. Use list_assets with the search parameter to find any coin by name or symbol.
Can I get OHLCV data for technical analysis?
Yes! Use get_candles with the asset ID and interval (m1, m5, m15, m30, h1, h2, h6, h12, d1). Returns open, high, low, close and volume for each candle period.
Can I see which exchanges list a specific crypto?
Yes! Use get_markets with asset_id to see all exchanges that list a specific cryptocurrency. Results include the exchange name, trading pair, current price, 24h volume and volume percentage.
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.
