Frequently asked questions
Can I send WhatsApp messages using this server?
Yes. The send_whatsapp_message tool allows you to send outbound WhatsApp messages through the Vonage Messages API. You'll need a verified WhatsApp Business Number configured in your Vonage account as the sender.
How do I implement two-factor authentication (2FA)?
You can use the start_verification tool to send an OTP code to a user's phone. Once the user receives the code, use check_verification_code with the request_id to validate it. Your agent can handle the entire flow through a single conversation.
Can I check how much sending an SMS will cost me?
Absolutely. Use the get_country_pricing tool and provide the ISO country code (e.g., 'US' or 'GB'). Your agent will return the outbound SMS pricing for that region, helping you estimate costs before sending.
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.
