Frequently asked questions
How do I get my Intercom Access Token?
Go to the Intercom Developer Hub at app.intercom.com/a/developer-hub/. Click New app, give it a name, and select the workspace to install it in. Once created, click on your app, then navigate to Authentication in the left sidebar. Your Access Token will be displayed on this page. Configure the required permissions (scopes) — such as Read/Write People, Conversations, or Companies — and click Save. Copy the token and paste it below.
Can I look up a customer's full conversation history instantly?
Yes. Just ask your AI agent 'Show me all conversations with john@acme.com' and it retrieves every conversation — open, closed, and snoozed — including message content, agent assignments, tags, and resolution times. Perfect for getting full context before a customer call.
Can I track support team performance metrics?
Yes. Your AI agent can pull conversation counts, average response times, resolution rates, and open ticket volumes — giving managers instant visibility into team workload and SLA compliance without building custom reports or opening the Intercom analytics dashboard.
Is my customer data secure?
Your Access Token is a private app token that only accesses data in your own Intercom workspace. It respects your workspace's permission model — the token only has access to the scopes you explicitly grant. All API calls are made over HTTPS, and the token is never shared with third parties.
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.
