Frequently asked questions
How can I check if a specific person has Bolsa Família benefits available?
You can use the get_bolsa_familia_disponivel_por_cpf_ou_nis tool by providing either the CPF or the NIS number of the individual. The agent will return the availability status and payment details.
Is it possible to list all government agencies registered in the federal system?
Yes, use the get_orgaos_siafi tool. It will fetch a paginated list of organizations registered in the SIAFI (Integrated System of Financial Administration) used by the Brazilian government.
Can I see how much a specific company received from the government?
Yes! Use the get_despesas_documentos_por_favorecido tool with the company's identifier (CNPJ or name). It will return expense documents associated with that beneficiary.
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.
