Frequently asked questions
Can I manually approve or decline a verification inquiry through the AI?
Yes. You can use the approve_inquiry or decline_inquiry tools by providing the specific Inquiry ID. This allows you to take immediate action on pending verifications based on your review.
How do I handle GDPR or privacy requests to delete user data?
The server includes redact_account and redact_inquiry tools. These actions permanently delete Personally Identifiable Information (PII) associated with the specified ID, helping you maintain compliance with privacy regulations.
Can I see the specific details of why a verification failed?
By using the get_verification tool with a Verification ID, you can retrieve the full metadata and results of a check, which typically includes status codes and reasonings for the verification outcome.
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.
