Frequently asked questions
What Zoho Desk plan do I need for this MCP server?
This MCP server works with any paid Zoho Desk plan (Standard, Professional, Enterprise). The free plan has limited API access. Ensure your organization has API enabled in admin settings.
Can this MCP server automate ticket routing and escalation?
Yes! AI agents can list tickets, filter by status/priority, update assignees, change departments, and add internal notes for escalation. Combined with workflow rules in Zoho Desk, you can build fully automated support pipelines.
Does this work with Zoho's multi-tenant organizations?
Absolutely. The MCP server requires an orgId parameter, so you can connect to any Zoho Desk organization you have access to. For multiple orgs, deploy separate MCP instances with different credentials.
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.
