Frequently asked questions
Can the integration accidentally delete important notes?
The delete_note tool performs a permanent deletion. We recommend instructing your AI agent to always confirm before executing any deletion. You can also use get_note_version to review note history before making changes.
Does it support shared or team notes?
Simplenote is designed for personal note management. This integration accesses notes tied to the authenticated user's account only. Team collaboration features are not available through the Simperium API.
Does it support Markdown formatting?
Yes. Simplenote stores plain text, so Markdown syntax is preserved as-is when you create or update notes. The Simplenote clients will render Markdown formatting natively.
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.
Server shows as disconnected
