Using the MCP
Once the MCP Server is connected, Cursor automatically uses it when you ask questions about your data. You can prompt Cursor to use Omni by referring to it by name or description.
-
Open the AI pane/chat panel and select Agent mode:
-
Enter a prompt, such as
Hey Omni, tell me how many users have been sourced by search and email.
-
Each time Cursor uses an MCP tool, you’ll be prompted to approve its usage. Click Run tool to proceed.
You can also use Cursor’s Yolo mode to automatically run MCP tools without requiring approval.
-
The MCP Server will pick a model (if not configured) and topic, then run a query to retrieve the data:
