Frequently asked questions
How do I find the specific code for a bus line?
Use the search_lines tool with the line number or name (e.g., '8000' or 'Lapa'). The agent will return the line code (cl), which is required for tracking positions or forecasts.
Can I see the arrival times for all buses at a particular stop?
Yes! Use the get_forecast_by_stop tool with the stop code (cp). It will list all upcoming bus arrivals for that location in real-time.
Is it possible to track the live location of buses on a map?
While the MCP returns raw coordinates, you can use get_positions_by_line to get the latitude and longitude of every active bus on a line, which your AI can then describe or plot.
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.
