Frequently asked questions
How do I get started?
Subscribe to the server and you're ready. The UK Environment Agency API is entirely public open data. No code, no setup, no webhooks — just connect and start querying through your AI agent.
Can my AI agent check for active flood warnings in specific areas?
Yes. Your agent queries the live flood alert endpoints, giving you precise warnings, severity levels, and regional bounds instantaneously. It handles the whole diagnostic flow directly from your prompt.
What happens when I need to check exact river depth history?
Just tell your AI agent. It targets individual measurement stations and reads their active water flow and level records, saving you from navigating complex CSV government databases.
Can I monitor multiple geographic metrics simultaneously?
Absolutely. Combine requests for hydrology network grids, list all active flood stations across county borders, and map their measures. Perfect for logistics teams, civic planners, and researchers parsing country-wide status loops.
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.
