FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I reply to a customer conversation using the AI?

You can use the add_reply tool. Just provide the Conversation ID and the body of your message, and the agent will send it to the customer via FreeScout.

Can I update the status or assignee of a ticket?

Yes! Use the update_conversation tool. You can change the status (active, pending, closed, spam) or provide an assignee_id to route the ticket to a specific team member.

Is it possible to add internal notes that the customer won't see?

Absolutely. Use the add_note tool to post internal comments on a conversation. These are visible to your team in FreeScout but are never sent to the customer.

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.
