Frequently asked questions
Can I remotely open or close a barrier gate?
Yes! Use the run_gateway_operation tool with the gateway_id and the operation 'open_barrier' or 'close_barrier'. This allows instant manual control without physical intervention.
How do I change the message on a digital display?
Use the update_display_message tool. Provide the display_id and your new message (e.g., 'Lot Full', 'Welcome to VIP Parking'). The screen updates within seconds.
Can I audit who opened barriers manually?
Yes! The get_activity_logs tool returns detailed logs of all gateway operations, including the user who performed the action and the timestamp. Essential for security and accountability.
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.
