Frequently asked questions
Can I send an SMS to a whole list using the AI?
Yes! Use the create_broadcast_campaign tool. Provide the List ID and your message text. Your agent will trigger the broadcast to all subscribers in that list instantly.
How do I add a new phone number to a marketing list?
Use the add_new_sms_subscriber action. Provide the phone number and the target List ID. The agent will instantly register the new subscriber in Tatango.
Is it possible to see my recent broadcast history via AI?
Absolutely. Run the list_sms_campaigns query. The agent will retrieve a history of all broadcast messages sent from your account, allowing you to monitor past outreach.
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.
