FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I see the specific data sent during a ping to debug a failure?

Yes. Use the get_ping_body tool with the check UUID and ping number to retrieve the exact payload or logs sent by your script during that execution.

How can I see the history of when my service went down?

You can use the list_flips tool. It provides a history of status changes (from 'up' to 'down' and vice versa) for any specific check within a given timeframe.

Is it possible to silence a check without deleting it?

Absolutely. Use the pause_check tool to stop monitoring and alerts for a specific check. You can later use resume_check to start monitoring again.

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.
