FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How can I see the latest products launched today?

Use the get_posts tool. You can specify the number of posts to retrieve (default is 5) to get a quick overview of the trending products currently on the front page.

Can I perform advanced searches or filter by specific criteria?

Yes. Use the execute_graphql tool to send custom queries. This allows you to leverage the full power of the Product Hunt API 2.0 schema for any specific data needs.

How do I verify if my API key is working correctly?

Run the get_viewer tool. It will attempt to fetch the username of the authenticated account, confirming your connection is active and authorized.

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.
