Frequently asked questions
Can I send a message to a customer who hasn't messaged me in the last 24 hours?
Yes, but you must use the send_template_message tool. WhatsApp requires Meta-approved templates to initiate contact outside the 24-hour service window. For active conversations within that window, you can use the send_text_message tool for free-form replies.
How many quick-reply buttons can I send at once?
Using the send_quick_reply_buttons tool, you can send up to 3 interactive buttons along with a message block. This is ideal for helping users choose between options like 'Confirm', 'Cancel', or 'Reschedule' with a single tap.
Can I share images or PDF documents through this server?
Absolutely. Use the send_media_message tool and provide a public URL to your asset. You can specify the type as 'image' or 'document' and even add a custom caption to the message.
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.
