FAQ

What is the MCP tool shape?

Cursor exposes one MCP tool: recloud. Payload:

{
  "subcommand": "<tool_name_from_catalog>",
  "parameters": { }
}

Names come from GET /tools/list-all / MCP manifest—not @recloud pseudo-syntax in chat unless your client maps it that way.

Do I put Gemini in mcp.json?

No. RC_API_KEY authorizes your RC-API. Gemini keys belong to RC-API configuration.

Tray red but MCP “works”

Tray may reflect only API health. Fix RC-API URL, key, or firewall—not MCP TCP (stdio MCP does not listen for IDE traffic on a custom diagnostic port).

“Tool not found”

• Subcommand must match catalog name exactly.
• Reload MCP after catalog or activation changes.

Where are workflows defined?

In RC-API *.private.mdc (and related config); execution_target in *.public.mdc drives MCP routing.

Removed from this book—out of scope for operators.
