Why Cursor?

Cursor's Agent mode turns Zephyr Scale (SmartBear) into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Zephyr Scale (SmartBear) and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 10 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.

—
Agent mode turns Cursor into an autonomous coding assistant that can read files, run commands, and call MCP tools without switching context
—
Cursor's Composer feature can generate entire files using real-time data fetched through MCP. no copy-pasting from external dashboards
—
MCP tools appear alongside built-in tools like file reading and terminal access, creating a unified agentic environment
—
VS Code extension compatibility means your existing workflow, keybindings, and extensions all work alongside MCP tools

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I check the specific test steps for a case through the agent?

Yes. The get_test_case tool allows your AI agent to retrieve the full script for any test key, providing the exact sequence of steps, test data, and expected results defined in Zephyr Scale.

How do I see the progress of a specific test cycle via chat?

Use the get_test_cycle tool. Provide the unique cycle key, and your agent will return the cycle status, planned dates, and high-level execution statistics to help you monitor testing progress.

Is it possible to see the results of individual test runs?

Absolutely. Using the get_execution_details tool, your agent can retrieve step-by-step results for any execution, including comments and execution time, helping you identify exactly where a test failed.

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
