Frequently asked questions
How do I ensure the candidate data is up to date?
The Firefish MCP server fetches data directly from your live Firefish environment. Use the 'getCandidate' tool to retrieve the most recent profile information for any specific candidate ID.
Can I filter jobs by their current status?
Yes! The 'listJobs' tool retrieves all active jobs. You can then ask your AI agent to sort or filter these results based on status, title, or hiring company.
What format should I use for creating a new candidate?
Use the 'createCandidate' tool by providing the first name, last name, and email address. The agent will handle the underlying API request to ensure the record is created correctly in Firefish.
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
