Frequently asked questions
How do I get a Trakt Client ID?
Sign up for a free Trakt account at trakt.tv, go to OAuth Applications, click 'Create an Application' and fill in the details. Your Client ID is displayed immediately.
Can I use IDs from IMDb or TVDB?
Yes! Trakt accepts Trakt IDs, URL slugs (e.g. 'the-matrix'), IMDb IDs (e.g. 'tt0133093') and TMDB IDs for movies. For shows it accepts Trakt IDs, slugs, TVDB IDs and TMDB IDs.
What's the difference between trending and popular?
Trending shows what users are actively watching RIGHT NOW (real-time). Popular shows have the highest overall engagement over time. Trending is more dynamic and changes frequently.
Can I sync my watchlist and history?
Yes! Use get_watchlist, get_watched, get_collection and get_history with OAuth authentication. These endpoints require an access token in addition to your Client ID. Visit trakt.tv/oauth/applications to set up OAuth.
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.
