Frequently asked questions
Can I search for bills in a specific state?
Yes! Use the get_bill_list tool and provide the state code (e.g., 'CA' for California, 'NY' for New York). It will return all active bills for the current session.
Does this include the full text of the bills?
The integration currently retrieves bill summaries and status updates. For the full legal text, the tool provides reference links to the official state or federal repositories.
How can I see how my representative voted?
Use the get_bill_details tool with the Bill ID. The response includes a roll call section with the results of all votes taken on that specific piece of legislation.
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
