Frequently asked questions
Can I query specific data inside a resource without downloading the whole file?
Yes! You can use the search_datastore_sql tool to run SQL queries directly against the Inep database for resources that support the DataStore API.
How do I find datasets related to a specific topic like 'ENEM'?
Use the search_packages tool with the query 'ENEM'. It will return all matching datasets, which you can then inspect using get_package.
Is it possible to list all organizations that publish data on the portal?
Yes, the list_organizations tool retrieves all departments and entities within Inep that maintain open data resources.
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.
