Frequently asked questions
Can my AI agent trigger an incident alert SMS to the on-call engineer?
Absolutely. You can provide your Twilio phone number, the destination E.164 number, and the alert body text. The agent will hit the Twilio API instantly, dispatch the SMS, and return the Message SID along with delivery status.
How can I stop a rogue voice call stuck in a loop?
Ask your agent to list active or recent voice calls and find the offending Call SID. Then instruct the AI to cancel the active call by its ID. The agent updates its status to 'canceled', dropping the connection right away.
Can it check how much my company has spent so far this month?
Yes. Ask the agent to pull your account's usage records. It interfaces with the Twilio billing records and can display breakdowns of amounts sent, call durations, and costs incurred, giving you full transparency without opening the dashboard.
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.
