Frequently asked questions
Does this work for iFood customers or only merchants?
This MCP server is designed exclusively for iFood merchants (restaurant owners). It uses the Merchant API to manage orders, catalogs, and operations. Consumer-side features require a different API. If you're a restaurant owner using iFood for delivery, this is for you.
Can I accept and prepare orders automatically with this MCP?
Yes! AI agents can update order status through the full workflow: PENDING -> ACCEPTED -> PREPARING -> READY -> DISPATCHED -> DELIVERED. You can build automation rules to accept orders instantly, notify kitchen staff, and track preparation times.
Does this support multiple restaurant locations?
Absolutely. The API returns all stores associated with your merchant account. Each tool requires a store_id parameter, so you can manage operations independently across all your restaurant locations. AI agents can list all your stores first to get their IDs.
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.
