Frequently asked questions
How do I find my Medium Integration Token?
Log in to Medium on the web, go to Settings > Security and apps > Integration tokens, and generate a new token. Copy and paste it into the field below.
Can the agent publish a story as a draft?
Yes. When using the create_post tool, you can specify draft in the publishStatus parameter. Your agent will confirm that the story is saved as a draft for your review.
Is it possible to publish to a publication I contribute to?
Yes. First, list your publications using list_publications, then use the create_publication_post tool with the target Publication ID to submit your story.
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.
