What you can do
- Project Oversight — List all projects within your portals and retrieve detailed configurations and metadata
- Task Management — List, retrieve, create, and update tasks across your projects with support for partial updates
- Milestone Tracking — Monitor project milestones and their associated target dates to stay on schedule
- Team Visibility — List all users and participants registered for a specific project to manage responsibilities
- Organization Control — List task lists and portals to maintain a clear picture of your entire project management hierarchy

- —
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

Frequently asked questions
How do I find my Portal ID?
Use the list_portals tool to retrieve all portals you have access to along with their unique IDs.
Which Data Center domains are supported?
You can use any Zoho Data Center domain such as zoho.com (US), zoho.eu (Europe), zoho.in (India), zoho.com.au (Australia), or zoho.jp (Japan).
Can I update a task name without sending all other fields?
Yes, the update_task tool uses the V3 PATCH method, allowing you to perform partial updates by only providing the fields you want to change.
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.
