Frequently asked questions
How do I find my Helpshift API Key?
Log in to your Helpshift dashboard, go to Settings > API, and you will find your API Key listed there. This key is used as the username for Basic Authentication.
What is the 'Domain' in the setup?
The domain is the unique identifier for your Helpshift instance (e.g., if you access it at company.helpshift.com, your domain is company).
Can I see the history of actions taken on an issue?
Yes! Use the get_issue_audit_logs tool (v2). It retrieves the action history, showing when status was changed, who was assigned, and which tags were added.
Is the integration secure for support data?
Absolutely. The integration uses industry-standard Basic Authentication over HTTPS. Your credentials are encrypted and stored securely within the Vinkius Cloud infrastructure.
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.
