Frequently asked questions
Can I check if a specific item is available for a date range?
Yes. Use check_item_availability with the Item ID, start date, and end date (YYYY-MM-DD format) to verify if the item is free for that period. Use list_availability for a complete overview of all items and their current availability status.
Can I track overdue rentals that haven't been returned?
Yes. The list_overdue_hires tool retrieves all rentals past their return date with customer info, item details, and days overdue. Use list_hires_by_status with 'overdue' status for the same result, or filter by 'active', 'returned', or 'pending'.
Can I create a new rental booking through the AI agent?
Yes. Use create_hire with a JSON payload containing customer ID, item IDs, start date, end date, and any special instructions. Use list_items to browse available equipment and list_customers to find the customer. Use create_customer to add a new customer if needed.
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.
