Frequently asked questions
Can I enable or disable specific features like Epics or Cycles for a project?
Yes! You can use the update_project_features tool to toggle capabilities including epics, modules, cycles, views, pages, and intakes for any specific project.
How do I see all the projects currently active in my workspace?
Simply use the list_projects tool by providing your workspace slug. The agent will return a list of all projects, including their names and identifiers.
Is it possible to archive a project that is no longer needed?
Yes, you can use the archive_project tool to move a project to the archive. If you change your mind, you can also use unarchive_project to bring it back.
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.
