Frequently asked questions
Can I move or copy files between different folders using the AI?
Yes. You can use the move_file and copy_file tools. Just provide the source path and the destination path, and the agent will handle the transfer within your Files.com site.
Is it possible to manage user permissions for specific folders?
Absolutely. You can use list_permissions to audit current access and create_permission to grant new access levels to specific users or groups for any folder path.
Can I see a list of all active automations on my site?
Yes, the list_automations tool allows your agent to retrieve all configured automations, helping you monitor scheduled tasks and sync processes.
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
