Agent Terminals are read only

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

Often, the terminal asks for user interaction, like linking a project via MCP or approving a process. I can’t seem to do this in Cursor 2.0. How do I handle these cases?

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

One of the features of Cursor 1.7 was to break the terminal. For normal operation, enable Legacy Terminal in the settings.
