Frequently asked questions
How do I get my Stripe Secret Key?
Log in to the Stripe Dashboard, go to Developers > API keys, toggle Test mode for testing or stay in Live mode for production. Copy the Secret Key (starts with sk_test_ or sk_live_). Keep it secret — never expose it in frontend code.
What's the difference between a payment intent and a charge?
A Payment Intent represents a pending payment that may require additional steps (3D Secure, confirmation). It tracks the lifecycle of a payment attempt. A Charge is the result of a successfully completed payment — it represents money that has been collected. Use list_payment_intents to track in-progress payments and list_charges for completed ones.
Can I create a payment intent for any amount?
Yes! Use the create_payment_intent tool with the amount in the smallest currency unit (e.g. 1000 = $10.00 USD, 1000 = €10.00 EUR) and the currency code (usd, eur, gbp, etc.). Optionally associate it with a customer ID. The tool returns the payment intent with its client_secret for use with Stripe.js.
Can I track subscription statuses?
Yes! Use list_subscriptions to see all subscriptions with their status (active, trialing, past_due, canceled, unpaid), customer, billing cycle and items. You can filter by customer ID or status to narrow results. This is useful for monitoring recurring revenue and identifying at-risk accounts.
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.
