Frequently asked questions
Can I track ticket sales and revenue for a specific event?
Yes. Use get_event_revenue with an Event ID to retrieve total revenue, ticket sales breakdown by type, and payment method distribution. Use list_orders_by_event to see individual orders with buyer details and amounts. Use list_ticket_types to see pricing and availability per ticket tier.
Can I monitor attendee check-ins in real time?
Yes. Use list_attendees to see all attendees with their check-in status. Use list_scans for individual scan entries with timestamps. Use get_scan_stats for aggregate metrics: total tickets scanned, unique scans, and overall scan rate percentage.
Can I view only upcoming or past events separately?
Yes. Use list_upcoming_events for future events sorted by date, or list_past_events for completed events useful for post-event reporting. Use list_events for all events regardless of date, and get_event for complete details of any specific event.
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.
