Frequently asked questions
How do I get started?
Subscribe, enter your API credentials (your secret token from Layup Dashboard → Developer Settings → API Keys), and you're ready. No code, no environment files, no endpoints — just connect and start managing your orders through your AI agent.
Can my AI agent check the remaining balance on an active order?
Yes! Provide the Order target ID to the agent. It utilizes the get_order tool returning exact metrics on money received vs pending values. It aggregates everything in conversational format so you don't jump windows.
What happens when I need to create a manual dynamic lay-by in chat?
Just specify the item price, customer token, and configuration. The AI agent executes a create_order action connecting via the payload and creates proper links. The shopper gets billed correctly, saving you minutes of UI clicking.
Can I query an exact list of all historically recorded buyers/customers?
Absolutely. Ask the agent to list all stored customers. It compiles email arrays, reference ID trackers, phone tags — perfect for store leads and analysts evaluating buyer records without exporting flat files.
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.
