Frequently asked questions
How do I get an emfluence API Key?
Log in to your emfluence account, navigate to Settings > API, and you can generate or retrieve your unique API Key from there. Ensure the key has the necessary permissions for your marketing resources.
Can the agent send new marketing emails?
This integration currently focuses on listing and auditing emails, groups, and contacts. Creating or sending new marketing campaigns should be managed via the emfluence platform dashboard.
Does the integration show bounce rates?
Yes, you can use the get_email_performance_stats tool to retrieve specific bounce metrics along with open and click rates for any email.
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.
