FAQ

Frequently asked questions

01

How do I search for a specific artist or album?

Use the database_search tool with the query parameter for free-text search. You can refine results with filters like type (artist, release, master, label), genre, style, year, country, or format. For example, to find a specific album, set type to 'release' and use the album name in query.

02

Can I check the market value of a vinyl record?

Yes. First search for the release to get its ID, then use get_release_stats to see community pricing data including lowest, median, and highest sale prices. You can also use get_marketplace_listings to see current active listings with prices and conditions.

03

How do I explore an artist's complete discography?

Search for the artist first to get their ID, then use get_artist for their profile and get_artist_releases for their complete discography. Results include albums, singles, compilations, and credits on other releases, sorted by year. Use pagination to navigate large discographies.

04

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.

05

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.

06

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.

07

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.

08

Tools not appearing in Cursor

Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.

09

Server shows as disconnected

Check Settings → Features → MCP and verify the server status. Try clicking the refresh button.
