I tried asking the same and I got listed the only MCP I installed.

I’m pretty try sure when I did install it, I told it to use it.

Did you try that already?

Hey, this is a known issue. MCP servers can show as connected (green indicator) in Settings, but the agent doesn’t pick up the tools.

A couple workarounds:

  1. Start a new chat and explicitly mention the server in your first message, like: “Using the GitHub MCP, list my repositories.” This can nudge the agent to discover the server for that session.

  2. Try fully restarting Cursor (not just reloading the window. Completely quit and reopen it).

Related thread with the same pattern: Apify MCP server shows connected but no tools available to the agent

Could you also share:

  • Your Cursor version (Help > About)
  • The Request ID from the chat where this happened (three dots in the top right of the chat > Copy Request ID)

That’ll help us dig into it.
