Why Cursor?
Cursor's Agent mode turns Printify into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Printify and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 22 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

Frequently asked questions
How can I see which blank products are available to customize?
You can use the list_blueprints tool. It retrieves the full catalog of available blank items (blueprints) that you can use to create your custom products.
Is it possible to check shipping costs for a specific product and provider?
Yes! Use the get_shipping tool by providing the Blueprint ID and Print Provider ID. It will return the exact shipping costs and handling times for that combination.
Can I list all the products currently in one of my shops?
Absolutely. Use the list_products tool with your Shop ID to fetch all products created within that specific shop, including their status and details.
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.
