Frequently asked questions
Can the AI really create and publish a post sequentially?
Yes. Once you gather valid endpoints using list_profiles, you can instruct the AI to construct content. When instructed, the bot calls create_social_post, supplying your generated text payload and matching the ID, broadcasting it natively. It can also assign scheduled timestamps for delayed publishing.
How can I extract sentiment from a listening topic intelligently?
Use the tool list_listening_topics to find the exact ID representing a brand trend. Ask the AI: "Diagnose listening id '123' for the past month". It will automatically run get_listening_analytics, interpreting the JSON outputs consisting of sentiment ratios, mention volumes, and mapping the sentiment securely inside your chat.
Do I need to leave a tab logged into Sprout Social open?
No, this is completely headless. As long as you provided the SP_TOKEN and SP_CUSTOMER_ID strings globally to your MCP integration parameters, the AI interacts with REST endpoints securely and natively in the background.
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
Check Settings → Features → MCP and verify the server status. Try clicking the refresh button.
