Why Cursor?
Cursor's Agent mode turns Nansen (Blockchain Analytics) into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Nansen (Blockchain Analytics) and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 48 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.
- —
Agent mode turns Cursor into an autonomous coding assistant that can read files, run commands, and call MCP tools without switching context
- —
Cursor's Composer feature can generate entire files using real-time data fetched through MCP. no copy-pasting from external dashboards
- —
MCP tools appear alongside built-in tools like file reading and terminal access, creating a unified agentic environment
- —
VS Code extension compatibility means your existing workflow, keybindings, and extensions all work alongside MCP tools

Frequently asked questions
How can I track where Smart Money is moving capital?
Use the smart_money_netflow tool to see net capital flows (inflows vs outflows) for tokens, or smart_money_holdings to see aggregated balances held by these sophisticated entities.
Can I identify the behavior or identity of a specific wallet?
Yes, use profiler_labels or profiler_premium_labels to retrieve behavioral tags (like 'Smart Money', 'Heavy DEX User', or ENS names) associated with any blockchain address.
How do I analyze the performance of a specific address?
Use profiler_pnl_summary to get an aggregate view of profits and losses, or profiler_pnl for a detailed breakdown of performance for a specific address and token pair.
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.
