Frequently asked questions
How do I get Marvel API keys?
Visit developer.marvel.com/account, sign in with a Marvel or social account, and you'll immediately see your Public and Private keys. Both are required for authentication.
Can I search for characters by name?
Yes! Use list_characters with name_starts_with to search. For example, 'Spider' returns Spider-Man (Peter Parker), Spider-Man (Miles Morales), Spider-Gwen and more. Each result includes the character ID for use with other tools.
Can I find comics for a specific character?
Yes! Use list_comics with character_id. First find the character ID with list_characters, then pass it to list_comics to get all their comic appearances with issue numbers, titles and cover dates.
How many results can I get at once?
The API supports up to 100 results per request. Use the limit parameter (1-100, default 20) and offset for pagination. The total count is returned in each response so you know how many pages exist.
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.
