Frequently asked questions
How do I get my Mindbody API Key?
Sign up at developers.mindbodyonline.com, create a developer account, then go to Account → API Credentials to generate your API Key. You'll also need the Site ID of the business you want to connect to.
What is a Site ID and where do I find it?
The Site ID is a unique numeric identifier for each Mindbody business. The business owner can find it in their Mindbody account under Settings. For testing, use Site ID '-99' which is the Mindbody sandbox.
Can I book classes or appointments through the AI agent?
Currently the server focuses on read operations for maximum safety. Write operations (booking, canceling) are planned for v2 and will require the optional User Token credential with staff-level permissions.
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.
