- Real-Time GPS — Get live machine positions and telemetry data to know exactly where your equipment is operating
- Field Mapping — List all agricultural fields with boundaries, acreage, and current crop assignments
- Operation History — Review planting, spraying, harvesting, and tillage records with product rates, yields, and operators
- Alerts & Clients — Monitor machine alerts by severity and manage grower and landowner relationships

Why Cursor?
Cursor's Agent mode turns John Deere into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from John Deere and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 7 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.
- —
Agent mode turns Cursor into an autonomous coding assistant that can read files, run commands, and call MCP tools without switching context
- —
Cursor's Composer feature can generate entire files using real-time data fetched through MCP. no copy-pasting from external dashboards
- —
MCP tools appear alongside built-in tools like file reading and terminal access, creating a unified agentic environment

Frequently asked questions
Can my AI agent locate all my machines in real time and tell me which fields they're working?
Yes! Use list_organizations to pick your farm, then get_machine_locations to fetch live GPS coordinates and telemetry for every machine. Cross-reference with list_fields to match coordinates to specific fields. Your agent builds the complete picture in one conversation.
How can I quickly review harvest yields across all my fields for the season?
Ask your agent to iterate through your fields: 'Show me harvest data for all fields in org X.' It will call list_fields then get_field_operations for each, filtering for harvest operations. You get yield per acre, product totals, and operator names — perfect for end-of-season reporting without exporting spreadsheets.
Does this integration modify any data on my John Deere account?
No. All 7 tools are read-only query operations — they list and retrieve data but never create, update, or delete anything. Your OAuth access token scope controls exactly which organizations and data types are accessible, matching the permissions you configured in the John Deere Developer Portal.
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.
