Frequently asked questions
How do I get my Instantly API key?
Log in to your Instantly account at app.instantly.ai. Navigate to Settings (gear icon in the left sidebar). Click on the API section. Click Create API Key, give it a name, and copy the generated key. Paste it into the configuration field below. API access is available on all paid plans.
Can I monitor email warm-up health through my agent?
Yes. Your agent can check warm-up scores, daily sending volumes, and inbox placement rates for each sending account — helping you know when new accounts are ready for full-volume campaigns.
Can I manage multiple sending accounts?
Yes. Instantly supports unlimited sending accounts. Your AI agent can list all accounts, check their warm-up status, and manage which accounts are assigned to which campaigns.
How is Instantly different from other cold email tools?
Instantly differentiates with unlimited sending accounts, built-in email warm-up, and high-volume campaign infrastructure. It's designed for agencies and teams running 10K+ emails/month across dozens of sending domains.
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
