FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I get an API Key for Freshteam?

Log in to your Freshteam account, click on your Profile Icon in the top right corner, select 'API Settings', and copy 'Your API Key'.

What is my 'Domain prefix'?

Your domain prefix is the first part of your Freshteam URL (e.g. if your URL is 'acme.freshteam.com', the prefix is 'acme').

Can I see all applicants for a specific job?

Yes! First use the 'list_job_postings' tool to get the Job ID, then use 'list_job_applicants' with that ID to see everyone who applied.

Is it possible to add a new employee via the agent?

Yes, use the 'create_employee_record' tool. Provide the first name, last name, and official email to instantly add them to your HRIS directory.

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.
