Hi Oliver, we just released v0.0.30 of the anysphere.remote-ssh extension. In this update, we fallback to the system NodeJS (i.e. whatever is returned by which node) if the bundled node doesn’t work for whatever reason. We require NodeJS 20+.
I tested this on NixOS (version 24.11.717822.0c0bf9c05738), and I was able to successfully SSH in through Cursor and open a remote folder. I had to add wget and nodejs to the environment.systemPackages inside the /etc/nixos/configuration.nix, and then run sudo nixos-rebuild switch.
Could you try switching back to the Anysphere Remote SSH extension, and let me know whether this now works for you? You can find it by searching for @id:anysphere.remote-ssh in the extension search box – attaching a screenshot. Thanks!
