FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I see the current league table for a specific competition like the Premier League?

Yes. Use the get_competition_standings tool with the competition code (e.g., 'PL' for Premier League). It will return the full standings including points, goals, and form.

How do I find the top goal scorers for the current Champions League season?

Simply use the list_competition_scorers tool and provide the competition ID or code (e.g., 'CL'). The agent will list the top players and their goal counts.

Is it possible to check the match history or upcoming fixtures for a specific team?

Yes, you can use list_team_matches by providing the Team ID. You can also filter by status (e.g., 'FINISHED' or 'SCHEDULED') to see past or future games.

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.
