Frequently asked questions
Can my AI automatically aggregate all engagement statistics across a specific creator's 3 linked socials?
Yes! Utilize the get_creator_identity combined with get_audience_metrics. Your agent will ping Phyllo, mapping their YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram channels simultaneously to produce a single comprehensive metric report instantly.
How do I easily discover what tier of influencers are trending within the beauty sector?
Direct your agent to use the search_creators tool, filtering via the 'Beauty/Cosmetics' tag and sorting by active engagement. The agent returns ranked creator profiles dynamically bypassing manual research.
Are there any destructive capabilities regarding a creator's linked accounts?
No. The API calls are strictly read-only layers fetching authenticated analytical performance or demographic distributions, meaning you cannot post, alter profiles, or delete associations.
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.
