Frequently asked questions
How do I find the filing history for a specific company?
Use the get_submissions tool with the company's Central Index Key (CIK). For example, Apple is 320193. The tool automatically handles leading zeros.
Can I retrieve specific financial metrics like 'Net Income' for a company?
Yes. Use get_company_concept by providing the CIK, the taxonomy (usually 'us-gaap'), and the XBRL tag (like 'NetIncomeLoss').
How can I compare a single metric across all companies for a specific year?
Use the get_xbrl_frames tool. You can specify a concept, unit, and period (e.g., 'CY2023') to get data for every reporting entity in that timeframe.
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.
