Frequently asked questions
Can I enrich a profile using only a LinkedIn URL?
Yes! Use the pdl_enrich_person tool and provide the LinkedIn URL in the profile parameter. The agent will return the full professional profile associated with that URL.
Is it possible to search for companies by industry and size using SQL?
Absolutely. Use the pdl_search_company tool and provide a SQL query like SELECT * FROM company WHERE industry='software' AND employee_count > 500. This gives you direct access to the full dataset.
How many records can I enrich at once in bulk?
You can enrich up to 100 records per request using the pdl_bulk_enrich_person or pdl_bulk_enrich_company tools by passing a JSON array of request objects.
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.
