Frequently asked questions
How do I find my HiBob API Token?
Log in to HiBob as an admin, go to Settings > Integrations, and look for the Service Users section. Create a new service user or select an existing one to generate and copy the API Token.
Why should I use the 'search_employees' tool?
The search_employees tool uses the modern HiBob Search API, which is more powerful than legacy endpoints and supports retrieving custom fields and filtering active/inactive status efficiently.
Can I check who is currently on vacation?
Yes! Use the get_whos_out tool by providing a date range. It will return a list of all employees currently on leave or scheduled to be out during those dates.
Is the integration secure for HR data?
Absolutely. The integration uses official HiBob Service User tokens over HTTPS. Your credentials and employee data 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.
