Bring Pandadoc
to Cursor
Learn how to connect PandaDoc to Cursor and start using 11 AI agent tools in minutes. Fully managed, enterprise secure, and ready to use without writing a single line of code.
What is the PandaDoc MCP Server?
Connect your PandaDoc account to any AI agent and take full control of your document orchestration and e-signature workflows through natural conversation. PandaDoc provides a premier platform for creating, sending, and tracking business documents, and this integration allows you to retrieve document metadata, monitor signature statuses, and generate new contracts directly from your chat interface.
What you can do

Frequently asked questions
Can my AI automatically find the details for a specific document by its ID?
Yes! Use the get_document tool with the Document ID. Your agent will respond with complete metadata, including signature status, expiration dates, and recipient info in seconds.
How do I find my PandaDoc API Key?
Log in to your PandaDoc account, navigate to Settings > Integrations > API, and click 'Generate API Key' to create your unique secret token.
Can I generate a signing link for my app?
Absolutely. Use the create_session tool to generate an embedded signing session for a specific document. The agent will return a unique URL for your recipient to sign immediately.
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.
