- —
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
Do I need an API key?
No! Overpass API is completely free and open. No authentication required. Please be respectful with query sizes — avoid queries returning more than 10,000 elements.
What is a bounding box?
A bounding box defines a geographic area using min_latitude, min_longitude, max_latitude, max_longitude. Example: "40.70,-74.01,40.72,-73.98" covers Lower Manhattan, NYC.
Can I search near my current location?
Yes! Use search_nearby or search_nearby_amenities with your GPS coordinates and a radius in meters (e.g. lat=40.7128, lon=-74.0060, radius=1000 for 1km around NYC).
What amenities can I search for?
Common amenities: restaurant, cafe, fast_food, bar, pub, hospital, clinic, pharmacy, school, university, library, atm, bank, fuel, parking, police, fire_station, post_office, toilets, cinema, theatre, nightclub, museum.
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.
