Frequently asked questions
Where do I get my ThoughtSpot Secret Key?
You can find or generate your Secret Key in the ThoughtSpot instances under the Develop menu, inside the Security settings (specifically Trusted Authentication). Note that you need admin tracking rights or developer privileges to enable this type of access.
Can the AI modify my dashboards?
No. The integration exclusively lists and searches metadata elements (Liveboards, Data connections, Answers, Users). It will not modify, overwrite, or delete any configurations or data objects.
What types of metadata can I search for?
Liveboards (dashboards), Answers (individual charts and tables), Logical Tables, data source connections, users, user groups, and organizational tags.
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
Check Settings → Features → MCP and verify the server status. Try clicking the refresh button.
