Frequently asked questions
Can I search for a specific student using their email address?
Yes! Use the list_users tool and provide the email address as a filter. The agent will return the user's details, including their ID and signup information.
Is it possible to see if a transaction has been refunded?
Absolutely. The list_transactions tool allows you to filter by is_fully_refunded. You can also filter by course ID or user ID to narrow down your search.
Can I update a user's name if they made a typo during registration?
Yes. Use the update_user tool with the student's user_id and the new name. The agent will process the update and confirm the changes in your Teachable school.
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.
