Frequently asked questions
Where do I get my Todoist API Token?
You can locate your personal API Token securely via the web application by clicking your profile avatar, going to Settings, and selecting the Integrations tab. Your token will be visible at the bottom or in a dedicated Developer section. Alternatively, navigate directly to https://todoist.com/prefs/integrations.
Can the agent delete projects or workspaces?
No. The integration exclusively lists resources (projects, items, labels) and supports only basic item modifications: creating tasks and marking tasks as completed. Destructive actions on structural settings are not supported.
Can the agent organize my tasks using sub-projects or sections?
Yes. The Todoist integration allows the agent to retrieve project IDs and navigate into their specific sections. When creating a new task, you can explicitly ask the agent to place it within a specific section to keep your work neatly organized.
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.
