Frequently asked questions
Can my AI automatically find the details and status for a specific order by providing its ID?
Yes! Use the get_order tool with the Order ID. Your agent will respond with the complete metadata, including payment status, fulfillment status, and customer notes in seconds.
How do I check the stock level for a specific product in my Shopify store?
Simply ask the agent to run the get_product action with the Product ID. It will retrieve the detailed metadata for all variants, including current inventory counts.
How do I find my Shopify Admin API Access Token?
Log in to your Shopify admin, navigate to Settings > Apps and sales channels > Develop apps, create an app, and configure Admin API scopes to reveal your access token.
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.
