Frequently asked questions
How can Linkup help my agent provide more up-to-date answers?
Use the linkup_search tool to give your agent access to live web data. By performing semantic searches across the internet, your agent can retrieve the latest news, reports, and documentation, grounding its answers in current facts.
Can I extract clean text from a specific URL for RAG?
Yes. The linkup_fetch tool is specifically designed for content extraction. It renders the target page and returns a clean text version stripped of navigation and ads, making it ideal for feeding high-quality context to your agent.
What is the difference between standard and deep search modes?
Standard search focuses on rapid fact-finding and top results. Deep search performs a more comprehensive crawl across many more sources, which is better for complex research tasks that require diverse perspectives and detailed data.
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.
