Frequently asked questions
Can ZenRows bypass Cloudflare or other aggressive bot protections?
Yes. Using the scrape_antibot tool, ZenRows activates specialized technology to bypass Cloudflare, DataDome, and other advanced bot detection systems, ensuring you can access the content you need through chat.
How do I get clean Markdown from a website for my AI agent?
You can use the scrape_markdown tool. ZenRows will retrieve the page and automatically convert the content into structured Markdown, removing ads and navigation headers to provide a clean input for LLMs.
Can I see what a dynamic page looks like before extracting data?
Absolutely. Use the get_screenshot tool to retrieve a direct link to an image file representing the fully rendered target page, helping you verify that JavaScript content is correctly displayed.
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.
