Frequently asked questions
How do I get a Drift Auth Token?
Log in to your Drift account, navigate to Settings > App Settings, and create a new app or use an existing one to generate a Personal Access Token. Ensure the app has the necessary scopes for conversations and contacts.
Can the agent reply to Drift conversations?
This integration currently focuses on listing and auditing conversations, contacts, and agents. Sending active replies should be managed via the Drift agent application or web interface.
Does the integration show live agent presence?
Yes, you can use the list_drift_agents or quick_agent_availability_audit tools to retrieve real-time availability and presence statuses for your support and sales teams.
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.
