Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between this and the regular Google Drive server?
This version is specialized for folder management, hierarchical organization, and Shared Drives. It includes specific tools for moving files between folders, managing Shared Drive memberships, and creating shortcuts to maintain a clean workspace.
Can I move an entire folder structure to a Shared Drive?
Yes! You can use the move_file_to_folder tool (which also works for folders) to transfer a root folder into a Shared Drive ID. The AI agent will handle the parent reassignment via the API.
How do I create a shortcut to a document in another folder?
Use the create_shortcut tool. Provide the name for the shortcut, the ID of the target document, and the ID of the folder where you want the shortcut to appear.
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.
Server shows as disconnected
Check Settings → Features → MCP and verify the server status. Try clicking the refresh button.
