Frequently asked questions
Can I see the history of a specific chat via AI?
Yes! Use the list_texter_messages tool and provide the Chat ID. Your agent will retrieve the complete message log for that conversation.
How do I send a WhatsApp template with parameters?
Use the send_texter_template action. Provide the destination number, Template ID, language, and a JSON array for the dynamic components to personalize the message.
Is it possible to assign a label to a conversation via AI?
Absolutely. Use the add_label_to_texter_chat tool. Provide the Chat ID and the Label ID to organize your inbox programmatically.
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.
