Frequently asked questions
Can I get a photo of a specific breed like 'Husky'?
Yes! Use the get_dog_by_breed tool and set the breed parameter to 'husky'. It will return a random image of that breed.
How do I list all available sub-breeds for a breed like 'Retriever'?
Use the list_sub_breeds tool and provide 'retriever' as the breed. It will return a list of all sub-breeds like 'golden', 'flat-coated', etc.
Are there any copyrights on these dog images?
The Dog CEO API sources images from various open repositories. While most are free to use, you should check the source links for specific licensing if using them for commercial purposes.
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.
