Frequently asked questions
How do I securely obtain my Quip Access Token?
Sign in to your Quip account. Navigate to your API token generator page (usually at platform.quip.com or via Quip's Developer Settings). Generate a Personal Access Token, copy the string, and securely save it in the configuration fields below.
Can I provide a Quip document URL to my AI, or just the ID?
You can provide the standard URL. The agent is capable of recognizing the URL structure, extracting the alphanumeric thread_id, and performing the operation accurately.
Can it read embedded images or files inside the document?
The agent detects their existence by reading the raw structure and uses list_blobs to catalog attachments. However, downloading the actual files depends on your client's supported capabilities.
Is the edit operation destructive?
The edit_document function uses Quip's native append logic to add new HTML blocks at the end of the document, mitigating complete overwrites. Additionally, Quip maintains a full version history allowing rollbacks if necessary.
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.
