Frequently asked questions
Can I get direct answers from my documents without reading through them?
Yes. Using the get_grounded_answer tool, your AI agent can process a natural language question and return a precise answer based specifically on the content within your Vertex AI Search data stores. This grounding ensures high accuracy and reduces hallucinations by sticking to your private data as the source of truth.
How do I know which data stores are available to search?
Ask your agent to list your data stores. It will return all configured data stores in your collection along with their IDs and names. You can then use these IDs to perform targeted semantic searches or browse specific document branches.
Can I use this for product recommendations on my website?
Absolutely. The get_recommendations tool allows your agent to retrieve personalized recommendations by providing user event data. This is ideal for testing recommendation engines and surfacing relevant content or products to users based on their historical behavior.
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.
