FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I see which browsers my visitors are using?

Yes. Use the get_stats_page tool with the 'browsers' category to see a breakdown of visitor browser statistics for your chosen date range.

How do I export all my analytics data for backup?

You can start a background export using start_export. Once processed, use get_export to check the status and download_export to retrieve the file.

Is it possible to track custom events from my server code?

Absolutely. The count_hits tool allows you to send pageviews or custom events directly to GoatCounter from any backend or middleware.

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.
