Frequently asked questions
Can my AI automatically find the status of a delivery order just by providing its ID?
Yes! Use the get_order tool with the Order ID. Your agent will respond with the current status, customer details, and scheduled delivery times in seconds.
How do I assign a specific driver to an active order?
Simply ask the agent to run the assign_driver action. You will need to provide both the Order ID and the Driver ID to complete the assignment.
How do I find my Shipday API Key?
Log in to your Shipday dashboard, navigate to Settings > API, and you will find your unique secret API key there.
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.
