Frequently asked questions
Can I check a player's points balance via AI?
Yes! Use the get_player_balance tool and provide the Player Unique ID. Your agent will retrieve the current points and currency for that specific user.
How do I award points for a specific action using the agent?
Use the track_player_event action. Provide the Player ID and the Event Name (e.g., 'purchase_completed'). Gameball will process the event and trigger rewards based on your rules.
Is it possible to list all available rewards via AI?
Absolutely. Use the list_rewards query. The agent will retrieve the full catalog of rewards, redemption options, and active point rules from your account.
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.
