FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a Duolingo account to use this?

No! Public endpoints like user profiles, version info and dictionary hints work without authentication. Just provide a username to look up. For private data (your own progress, store items), you'd need to be logged into Duolingo.

What languages are supported?

Duolingo supports 40+ languages including English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Hindi and many more. Use get_version_info to see the full list of supported language codes.

Can I get my full learning progress?

The public API returns limited profile data. For full progress including individual skill levels and detailed stats, you need to be authenticated with your Duolingo session. The username-based endpoint returns basic info like total XP, streak and current language.

Can I get translation hints for vocabulary?

Yes! Use get_dictionary_hints with target and source language codes plus a list of words. It returns common translations for each word, useful for building flashcards or studying vocabulary.

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.
