Frequently asked questions
How do I get an API Token for Genius Referrals?
Log in to your Genius Referrals dashboard, click your name in the top-left corner, and select 'API Access' to find your API token.
Can I manually track a referral conversion via the agent?
Yes! Use the 'log_referral_conversion' tool. You must provide the advocate's email and the email of the person they referred to trigger the tracking logic.
How do I register a new advocate through the chat?
Use the 'register_advocate' tool and provide the person's email and full name. The agent will add them to your program and generate their referral link.
Is it possible to see who my best advocates are?
Yes, the 'list_top_performers' tool retrieves a list of advocates sorted by their referral count, helping you identify your most active promoters.
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.
