Frequently asked questions
Can I publish a Reel using my AI agent?
Yes. Use the publish_reel tool. You just need to provide a public URL for the video and your caption. Your agent will handle the container creation and final publishing to your Instagram Business profile instantly.
How do I see performance metrics for a specific post?
Ask your agent to get_media_insights for a specific Media ID. You'll receive deep metrics like reach, impressions, saved counts, and engagement rate directly in your chat interface.
Can my agent help me respond to comments?
Absolutely. Use the get_media_comments tool to list recent feedback, and then use reply_to_comment to send your response. This allows you to manage community interaction without opening the Instagram app.
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
