Frequently asked questions
How do I trigger a specific Webhook Agent with data?
Use the trigger_webhook tool. You will need the user_id, the agent_id, and the secret defined in that agent's configuration, along with the JSON payload you want to send.
Can I see what data my agents have collected recently?
Yes! Use the list_events tool to see a list of recent activity, or get_event with a specific ID to see the full JSON payload of a single event.
Is it possible to run an agent immediately without waiting for its schedule?
Absolutely. Use the run_agent tool with the Agent ID to force an immediate execution of that specific agent.
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.
