Why Cursor?

Cursor's Agent mode turns Novu into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Novu and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 39 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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I send a notification to all my subscribers at once?

Yes! Use the trigger_broadcast tool with your workflow name. This will initiate a notification event for every existing subscriber in your Novu environment.

How do I find a subscriber if I only have their email address?

You can use the search_subscribers tool and provide the email as a parameter. The agent will return the subscriber's full profile, including their unique subscriberId.

Is it possible to stop a notification that is currently in a 'delay' or 'digest' state?

Yes. By using the cancel_trigger tool with the corresponding transactionId, you can halt any active or pending workflow execution before it reaches the final delivery.

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.
