FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I search for a song if I only know a few words of the lyrics?

Yes! Use the search tool with the lyrics you remember. The agent will return the most relevant song matches from the Genius database.

How do I see the meaning behind a specific line in a song?

You can use get_referents with a song_id to see all annotated sections, or get_annotation with a specific ID to read the detailed community explanation.

Is it possible to vote on annotations through the AI?

Absolutely. You can use upvote_annotation, downvote_annotation, or unvote_annotation by providing the Annotation ID, provided your token has the necessary scopes.

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.
