Frequently asked questions
Can my AI agent find a specific business card by just a first name?
Yes. Ask the agent to run the search_biz_cards tool with the contact's name. It will look through all digitized cards in the shared corporate database and return the matching profiles, including their company, department, and direct contact details.
Is it possible to list only contacts from a specific department?
Yes, you can ask your agent to first execute list_departments to view your organizational structure, and then cross-reference those entities with the cards via natural prompts to summarize card acquisitions per department.
What is the difference between business cards and persons?
Business Cards are individual scan snapshots of physical cards acquired over time. A 'Person' represents the consolidated identity created when multiple updated cards from the same individual are merged. You can query both views via list_biz_cards or list_persons.
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.
