Frequently asked questions
How do I find my Foursquare API Key?
Log in to the Foursquare Developer Console, create a Project, and you will find your API Key there. Copy and paste it into the field below.
Can the agent search for places near me?
Yes. Use the search_places tool providing the ll (latitude, longitude) or near (city name) parameters. Your agent will return matching venues instantly.
Is it possible to retrieve venue photos via the agent?
Yes. The get_place_photos tool allows your agent to fetch images for any venue by providing its Foursquare Place ID, helping you visualize the location.
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
