FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I access custom employee attributes defined in my Personio account?

Yes! Use the list_custom_attributes tool to retrieve dynamic IDs and labels, and list_employees to see the values assigned to your staff.

Is it possible to log working hours for an employee via the AI?

Absolutely. You can use the create_attendance tool by providing the employee ID, date, and start/end times to record daily work periods.

Can the agent help me review my hiring pipeline?

Yes. The tools list_jobs, list_candidates, and list_applications allow your agent to fetch and summarize your current recruiting status and applicant details.

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.
