Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| cursor_usageA | Cursor billing and spend guardrails (read-only). Requires CURSOR_API_KEY. Admin endpoints also accept CURSOR_ADMIN_API_KEY (crsr_ team key). Use alert_check on a schedule (e.g. Fritz every 2h) instead of manual dashboard checks. |
| cursor_cloudA | List and inspect Cursor cloud agents (read-first; cancel is gated). Runaway spend often correlates with many parallel cloud agents — list often. |
| cursor_docsB | Return fleet-curated Cursor documentation snippets. |
| cursor_sdkA | Fleet-curated @cursor/sdk / cursor-sdk guidance (read-only, no agent spawn). Jun 2026 SDK release: custom tools, auto-review, JSONL stores, nested subagents. Use before writing new headless automation — complements cursor_docs topics. |
| cursor_inboxA | Inter-agent message drop for Cursor agents. Any process writes a message to the shared inbox dir (CURSOR_INBOX_DIR). The Cursor agent calls cursor_inbox to poll, read, and acknowledge. Typical flow:
No daemon, no network — pure filesystem. Default dir: ~/.cursor-mcp/inbox/ Override with CURSOR_INBOX_DIR env var. |
| cursor_helpA | List cursor-mcp tools and setup. |
