What is the Quotable API MCP Server?
Empower your AI agent to orchestrate your entire literary research and quote auditing workflow with the Quotable API, the comprehensive source for inspirational and famous quotes. By connecting Quotable to your agent, you transform complex keyword searches into a natural conversation. Your agent can instantly retrieve random quotes, audit author biographies, and query specific tags without you ever touching a quote portal. Whether you are building social media content or conducting thematic research, your agent acts as a real-time literary consultant, ensuring your data is always verified and precise.
What you can do
- Quote Auditing — Retrieve random or specific quotes by keyword and maintain a clear view of content, author, and tag distribution.

Frequently asked questions
Is an API Key required for Quotable API?
No. Quotable.io is a free and open service. This server works out of the box without any static credentials required.
Can I filter quotes by author?
Yes. Use the get_random_quote tool and provide the author parameter (name or slug). Your agent will return matching quotes instantly.
What biographical data is provided for authors?
The get_author_details tool provides the author's full name, a brief description, and a complete biography from the database.
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.
