Frequently asked questions
Can I send an email with HTML content and track whether it was delivered?
Absolutely. Use the send_email tool with your HTML body, then use get_email with the returned ID to check delivery status, open events, and bounce details in real time.
How do I check if my sending domain DNS records are correctly configured?
Run list_domains to find your domain ID, then use get_domain to inspect the full DNS record set (SPF, DKIM, return path). If records are pending, trigger verify_domain to re-check.
Can I add subscribers to an audience for broadcast campaigns?
Yes. First use list_audiences to get the target audience ID, then call create_contact with the subscriber's email and optional name fields. The contact is immediately available for broadcast targeting.
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.
