Frequently asked questions
Can I run a dynamic query against a LookML model through my agent?
Yes. Use the run_inline_query tool by providing the model name, view, and specific fields. Your agent will execute the query securely and return up to 100 rows of data, perfect for rapid data validation.
How do I see the filters applied to a specific Looker dashboard?
The get_dashboard tool retrieves the complete configuration for a Dashboard UUID. Your agent will expose the applied filters, element layouts, and underlying query structures directly in your chat interface.
Can my agent help me find reports in my Looker account?
Absolutely. Use the search_content tool to perform a deep search across content metadata. Your agent will identify dashboards and looks matching your text query, helping you locate critical data assets instantly.
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.
