Frequently asked questions
Why does it require an API key?
While the SEC and Treasury APIs do not require keys, the Census Bureau requires a free API key to handle the massive volume of hyper-local data (thousands of variables across millions of geographies). The key prevents rate limiting and ensures stable connections.
What geographies can I query?
This MCP limits the main built-in endpoints to State, County and Place (cities). Detailed geometries like zip-codes, tracts, or congressional districts can be queried utilizing the query_census custom tool.
Is Puerto Rico included?
Yes! Puerto Rico is treated internally as state FIPS code 72.
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.
