Troubleshooting Cursor
- Metorial connects but tools are missing or failing
- Open the Output panel (Cmd+Shift+U), choose MCP Logs, and look for authentication or connection errors.
- Your company blocks the server
- Enterprise admins approve remote servers in Team Settings, then MCP Configuration. Ask them to add a URL entry for your Metorial URL.
- Cursor asks before every tool call
- That is the default. Allowlist the Metorial tools you trust in your Run Mode settings to run them without a prompt.
Based on the Cursor MCP documentation.
