Frequently asked questions
Can I see all the items in a specific workspace via AI?
Yes! Use the list_workspace_items tool and provide the Workspace ID. Your agent will retrieve all features, stories, and epics organized within that environment.
How do I add a new feature to my backlog using the agent?
Use the create_product_item action. Provide the Workspace ID and the title of the feature. The agent will instantly create the record in your Craft.io account.
Is it possible to list all my product portfolios via AI?
Absolutely. Use the list_product_portfolios query. The agent will retrieve the complete list of portfolios configured in your account, allowing you to monitor high-level strategy.
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.
