FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can my agent list all issues in a Gitea repository?

Yes. Use the 'list_issues' tool. Provide the owner and repository name. The agent will return all issues with their titles, numbers, states, and labels, allowing you to monitor project progress natively.

How do I check the details of a specific pull request via chat?

Use the 'list_pulls' tool to see active PRs and their numbers. You can then ask for details about a specific PR to verify source/target branches and current review status synchronously.

Can I see all repositories belonging to a Gitea organization through the agent?

Absolutely. Use the 'list_org_repos' tool. Provide the organization name, and the agent will return all repositories belonging to that org, including their clone URLs and visibility status natively.

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.
