Frequently asked questions
Can I mark an item as sold out using the AI?
Yes! Use the update_item_status tool. You can ask the AI to change the status of a specific item to 'sold_out' or 'available', and it will immediately reflect on your digital menus.
How do I check if a customer's tab is still open?
You can use the list_tabs tool and filter by status 'open' to see all active tabs, or use get_tab with a specific Tab ID to check its current status and running total.
Is it possible to monitor incoming kitchen orders live?
Yes. The AI agent acts as a direct bridge to the order log, meaning you can retrieve the latest incoming tickets immediately without standing at the POS terminal.
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.
