- Signature Requests — Create new submissions (signature requests) by linking templates to specific signers and choosing whether to send automated emails.
- Signer Tracking — Retrieve detailed information about submitters and monitor the progress of individual signature requests.
- Data Pre-filling — Update submitter information or pre-fill form fields programmatically before the document is sent for signing.
- Document Archiving — Manage the lifecycle of your documents by retrieving or deleting templates and submissions as needed.

Why Cursor?
Cursor's Agent mode turns DocuSeal into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from DocuSeal and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 12 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.
- —
Agent mode turns Cursor into an autonomous coding assistant that can read files, run commands, and call MCP tools without switching context
- —
Cursor's Composer feature can generate entire files using real-time data fetched through MCP. no copy-pasting from external dashboards
- —
MCP tools appear alongside built-in tools like file reading and terminal access, creating a unified agentic environment
- —
VS Code extension compatibility means your existing workflow, keybindings, and extensions all work alongside MCP tools

Frequently asked questions
Can I create a document template using raw HTML code?
Yes! Use the create_template tool and provide your HTML content in the html parameter. DocuSeal will convert it into a reusable document template.
How do I send a document to multiple signers at once?
Use the create_submission tool. You can pass an array of signer objects (including email, name, and role) to the submitters parameter to initiate the signing process for everyone involved.
Is it possible to pre-fill form fields before the signer opens the document?
Absolutely. Use the update_submitter tool with the specific Submitter ID and provide a JSON object in the values parameter to map data to the form fields.
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.
