FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How can I search for court cases involving a specific company?

Use the search_cases tool with a query like caseName:"Company Name". The agent will return a list of matching cases with their UniCourt IDs and basic details.

Can the AI automatically track a case for new updates?

Yes! By using the track_case tool with a specific caseId, you can set up automated monitoring. You can even specify a refreshWindow like '1d' for daily updates.

Is it possible to get professional background data for an attorney?

Absolutely. Use search_norm_attorney to find the attorney and then get_norm_attorney with their ID to retrieve detailed analytics and professional history.

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.
