FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I search for tickets with specific tags through the agent?

Yes. The search_tickets tool supports the full Zendesk advanced search syntax. You can search by tags, status, type, and more (e.g., tags:billing status:pending), making it easy to perform complex filtering via chat.

How do I see the latest comments on a specific support ticket?

You can use the get_ticket_details tool. Provide the unique numeric ticket ID, and your agent will return the full metadata, including the ticket description and the most recent public or internal comments.

Is it possible to see all my available support macros via chat?

Absolutely. Use the list_available_macros tool to retrieve a list of all active support macros (canned responses) configured in your Zendesk account, helping you verify your team's standard reply templates.

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.
