Frequently asked questions
Can I run custom reports with specific dimensions and metrics?
Yes! The run_report tool accepts a JSON configuration with dateRanges, dimensions (e.g., pagePath, sessionSource), and metrics (e.g., sessions, screenPageViews, conversions). Use get_metadata to list all available dimensions and metrics, and check_compatibility to verify your combination is valid before running.
Does GA4 require two credentials — an access token and a property ID?
Yes. You need a Google OAuth Access Token (for authentication via Bearer header) and a GA4 Property ID (numeric ID identifying your specific GA4 property). The Access Token can be generated via a Google Cloud Service Account with the Analytics Data API enabled. The Property ID is found in GA4 Admin > Property Settings.
Can I see real-time active users on my website?
Yes. The run_realtime_report tool provides current active user data with real-time dimensions and metrics. For pre-built convenience reports, use get_page_views for top pages, get_traffic_sources for session sources, and get_device_breakdown for device distribution.
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.
