FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can my AI find the history and official badge of a specific team just by its name?

Yes! Use the search_teams tool with the team name. Your agent will respond with complete metadata, founded year, and high-resolution badge URLs in seconds.

How do I check the current standings for a major league like the Premier League?

Simply ask the agent to run the get_league_table tool providing the League ID (e.g., 4328 for Premier League) and the current season. It will compile the full standings with points and goal differences.

Does the integration provide video highlights for recent match events?

Yes. Many event results retrieved via tools like list_last_events_by_team include a strVideo field which contains direct YouTube links to official match highlights when available.

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.
