Frequently asked questions
How do I find my PhantomBuster API Key?
In your PhantomBuster account, click on your name in the top right, go to Org settings or Workspace settings, and look for the API Key section.
Can I provide arguments when launching a Phantom?
Yes! The launch_phantom action accepts an optional argument field where you can provide a JSON string of parameters to override the default Phantom configuration.
How do I see the data extracted by a Phantom?
Use the get_phantom_output tool with the specific agent ID. It will return the results of the last successful execution of that Phantom.
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.
