Frequently asked questions
Can I search for a song using only a few words from the lyrics?
Yes! Use the search_tracks tool and provide the words in the q_lyrics parameter. Your agent will find all tracks that contain those specific lyrics.
How do I get the full discography for a specific artist?
First, find the artist's unique ID using search_artists. Then, use the get_artist_albums tool with that ID to retrieve the list of all their recorded albums.
Is it possible to see which songs are currently trending in my country?
Absolutely. Use the get_top_tracks tool and provide your country code (e.g., 'us', 'br', 'fr'). Your agent will return the current top tracks chart for that location.
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.
