FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I create a new article draft using my agent?

Yes. Use the create_cms_article tool by providing a title, alias, category ID, and the HTML content. Your agent will generate the article in Joomla, allowing you to publish content without opening the admin panel.

How do I find the correct Category ID for a new article?

Ask your agent to list_global_categories. It will return a list of all available categories on your Joomla site along with their unique numerical IDs, making it easy to map your new content accurately.

Can my agent check the site's menu structure?

Absolutely. Use the list_site_menus tool to retrieve all configured menus and menu items. This is useful for auditing navigation links and ensuring your site layout is consistent with your content hierarchy.

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.
