Hey, thanks for the report. This is usually a temporary connectivity issue with our agent services. “Agent Status Unavailable” means Cursor can’t connect to the backend that powers agent mode, so it falls back to basic ask mode.

Try these steps:

  1. Check your internet connection is stable
  2. Fully restart Cursor
  3. If you’re on a corporate network, make sure firewall or proxy settings aren’t blocking Cursor

Agent mode requires a stable connection to our servers, so any network hiccups can cause this behavior.

You can also try running the network diagnostics in Cursor settings.

Yes tried above steps, still same

It looks like this error isn’t related to the Cursor agent. Are you using GitHub Copilot or a similar extension?

No, I am using cursor itself, and my agent functionality is not working.
