What is the Poe MCP Server?
Connect your Poe (Quora's AI platform) account to any AI agent and manage your chatbot empire through natural conversation. Create bots, chain AI model responses, monitor conversations, and track performance — all via API.
What you can do
- Bot Management — List, create, update, and delete API bots programmatically
- AI Model Chaining — Query any bot on Poe (GPT-4, Claude, etc.) from your bot using API v2
- Message Monitoring — View recent conversations, debug responses, and analyze user interactions
- Usage Statistics — Track message counts, unique users, response times, and error rates
- Endpoint Testing — Send test messages to verify bot connectivity and response quality
- Multi-Model Workflows — Build complex bots that combine responses from multiple AI models
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Poe API access token from creator.poe.com
- Start managing bots from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client
Who is this for?
- Bot Developers — Create and manage AI bots without leaving your code editor
- AI Researchers — Chain multiple AI models and compare responses programmatically
- Community Managers — Monitor bot conversations and track engagement metrics
Built-in capabilities (10)
Requires a bot name, base URL for your API endpoint, and the model name. Optionally set a system prompt and description. Create a new API bot on Poe
This action cannot be undone. All conversation history and settings for the bot will be lost. Delete a Poe API bot
Use the bot ID obtained from list_bots. Get details of a specific Poe bot
Essential for monitoring bot health, understanding user engagement, and identifying performance bottlenecks. Get usage statistics for a Poe bot
Useful for discovering which AI models and specialized bots are available for chaining in your bot workflows. List publicly available bots on Poe that your bot can query
Returns bot names, handles, models, and status. Essential first step to identify which bot to work with before querying, updating, or checking stats. List all API bots under your Poe account
Useful for monitoring what users are asking, debugging bot responses, and analyzing conversation patterns. Returns message content, timestamps, and user identifiers. List recent messages for a specific Poe bot
This allows chaining bot responses - your bot can query GPT-4, Claude, or any other bot on Poe and use the response as input. The cost is covered by the user's free message limit or subscription. Query another bot on Poe from your bot
Useful for testing endpoint connectivity and validating bot responses. The bot will process the message and return a response via its configured endpoint. Send a message to a Poe bot (simulate user interaction)
Changes take effect immediately for new conversations. Update an existing Poe bot's configuration
Why Cursor?
Cursor's Agent mode turns Poe into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Poe and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 10 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.
- —
Agent mode turns Cursor into an autonomous coding assistant that can read files, run commands, and call MCP tools without switching context
- —
Cursor's Composer feature can generate entire files using real-time data fetched through MCP. no copy-pasting from external dashboards
- —
MCP tools appear alongside built-in tools like file reading and terminal access, creating a unified agentic environment
- —
VS Code extension compatibility means your existing workflow, keybindings, and extensions all work alongside MCP tools

Frequently asked questions
How do I get a Poe API access token?
Go to creator.poe.com, navigate to Settings > API, and generate an access token. This token authenticates all API requests for bot management.
What AI models can I query through Poe?
Poe has GPT-4, GPT-4o, Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Claude 3 Opus, Llama 3, and dozens of specialized bots. Use query_bot to chain responses from multiple models in your workflows.
How does bot chaining work?
Using Poe API v2, your bot can query any other bot on Poe for free. The response becomes input for your bot's processing. Costs are covered by the user's free message limit or subscription.
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.
Server shows as disconnected
Check Settings → Features → MCP and verify the server status. Try clicking the refresh button.
