Frequently asked questions
Can my AI automatically find the details for a specific contact just by providing their email?
Yes! Use the get_contact tool. Provide the contact email or ID, and your agent will respond with complete metadata, including tags, custom fields, and pipeline status in seconds.
How do I find my Platform.ly API Key?
Log in to your Platform.ly account, click on your profile name at the top right, navigate to API Docs & Keys, and generate your unique secret key.
Can I use the AI to trigger a specific automation?
Yes, by using the apply_tag_to_contact or fire_event tools, you can trigger any automated workflow you have configured in your account.
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.
