Frequently asked questions
How do I generate my Guidebook API Key?
Log in to Guidebook Builder, click your profile dropdown in the top right, select 'Manage your account', and then navigate to the 'API Key' section to generate your token.
Can I see the schedules for multiple guides?
Yes! You can use list_guides to find the IDs for all your guides, and then use list_sessions or list_schedules with the specific guide ID to see its agenda.
How many requests can I make to the Guidebook API?
The Guidebook Open API typically has a limit of 10,000 requests per day per account. You can use the get_rate_limit tool to check your current usage.
What format should the API Key be in?
The API Key should be the raw JWT token provided by the Guidebook Builder. The integration will automatically handle the 'JWT' prefix for authorization.
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.
