FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I get a HUD User Access Token?

Register for an account at the HUD User API page (https://www.huduser.gov/portal/dataset/uspszip-api.html), confirm your email, and generate a token in your user dashboard.

Which year of data is used?

By default, the API returns the most recent available data. You can optionally specify a year and quarter in each tool.

Does it support mapping Tracts back to ZIP codes?

Yes, tools like tract_to_zip and county_to_zip allow bidirectional crosswalking between geography IDs and ZIP codes.

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.
