Frequently asked questions
How can I track the history of stock movements for a specific product?
You can use the list_inventory_changes tool by providing the product SKU. It will return a detailed history of inventory adjustments, helping you audit stock movements over time.
Is it possible to bulk update inventory levels across my warehouse?
Yes! The sync_inventory tool allows you to provide a URL to a CSV file containing your inventory data. The server will process the file and sync the levels for the specified warehouse ID.
What should I do if I only have a legacy numeric ID for an order or product?
Use the get_uuid tool. It is specifically designed to convert legacy numeric IDs into the opaque UUIDs required by the modern ShipHero API for entities like Orders or Products.
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.
