Frequently asked questions
Can my AI agent update order statuses — like marking an order as shipped?
Yes. The add_order_history tool pushes a new status entry to any order. Provide the order ID, the OpenCart status ID (e.g., 3 for Shipped), and an optional comment. The status change appears immediately in the admin panel and triggers any configured email notifications.
Does it work with any OpenCart version?
This integration uses the native OpenCart REST API available in OpenCart 2.x and later. If your store is running OpenCart 1.x, the API endpoints won't be available. For OpenCart 3.x and 4.x, the API user setup is the same — just ensure the API user is enabled in System > Users > API.
What about IP restrictions — will the API reject requests?
OpenCart's API enforces an IP whitelist by default. When creating your API user, add the IP address of your server to the 'IP Addresses' tab. If you're running through a cloud proxy, add that proxy's IP. Without this step, all API requests will be rejected with a permission error.
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.
