Frequently asked questions
Can my AI agent check if a specific message was delivered?
Yes. If an end user reports completely missing an important text, you can ask your agent to pull up the message status using its unique ID. The agent will read back exactly whether Telnyx successfully handed off the payload or if it encountered carrier-level rejection codes.
Is it possible to track the account billing balance?
Absolutely. You can request your current Telnyx account balance to confirm you have enough credit left to continue broadcasting. Just ask 'What is my current Telnyx balance?' and your agent will give you the exact remaining dollar threshold.
Can I configure new Messaging Profiles via AI?
Yes! Developers often need to isolate test traffic from production. You can simply ask your agent to list all current global profiles, and if needed, instruct it to immediately create a new messaging profile to attach webhook URLs.
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
