Frequently asked questions
How do I create a new post as a draft?
Use the create_new_post action. Provide the title and content, and set the optional status parameter to draft. The post will appear in your WP Admin for final review.
Can I see a list of all static pages like 'About Us'?
Yes! Use the list_static_pages query. Your agent will retrieve all static pages from your WordPress site, including their IDs and current status.
Is it possible to delete a post via the AI?
Absolutely. Use the delete_post tool and provide the unique ID of the post you want to remove. The content will be permanently deleted from your site.
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.
