FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How can I check if any of my indexers are currently down?

You can use the get_indexer_status tool. It retrieves the current health status of all configured indexers, highlighting any errors or connection issues.

What is the best way to add a new indexer without knowing the JSON structure?

First, run get_indexer_schema to see the templates for supported indexers. Once you have the correct fields, you can use add_indexer with the required data.

Can I verify my settings before applying them to an indexer?

Yes! Use the test_indexer tool. It allows you to test the connection and configuration of an indexer before saving it, preventing broken setups.

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.
