Frequently asked questions
Can I search for a client by their email address?
Yes! Use the list_crm_clients tool and provide the optional email parameter. The agent will return the specific record for that client if it exists in your CRM.
How do I book a new service for an existing client?
Use the create_new_booking action. You'll need to provide the Client ID, the Service ID, and the start time in ISO 8601 format (e.g., 2024-12-01T10:00:00Z).
Is it possible to list all unpaid invoices via AI?
Absolutely. Use the list_client_invoices query. The agent will retrieve all your billing documents, and you can then ask the AI to filter or identify those with a 'pending' or 'overdue' status.
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.
