FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can the agent natively sequence multiple SERP SEO audits concurrently without degradation?

Yes. Commands natively hook into asynchronous API creations (like create_content_editor). Audits sequence seamlessly provided your API quota from Surfer supports the bulk volume.

What does the Content Score represent?

The Content Score is a 0–100 rating generated by Surfer's NLP engine. It measures how well your text covers the prominent terms, word count targets, and structural guidelines extracted from top-ranking pages for your target keyword.

Which Surfer SEO plan is required for API access?

API access is available on the Scale AI and Enterprise plans. You can generate your API key from the Surfer dashboard under your account settings once subscribed to an eligible plan.

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.
