Can't skip MCP tool call

Describe the Bug

The model tried to call ‘MCP Tool’ which is probably an error in itself, but the ‘Skip’ button doesn’t work. This prevented the conversation from continuing.

Steps to Reproduce

Have the model call an MCP tool, click the ‘Skip’ button, nothing happens, the button doesn’t work.

Expected Behavior

Skip should skip the tool call.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Hey, thanks for the report. I can’t repro this, the “Skip” button works correctly on my side. Could you also let me know which MCP server you’re using? Also, please try creating a new chat and calling the MCP tool to check if the button works.

This is the MCP server: GitHub - ast-grep/ast-grep-mcp

I think this is the result of a ‘deeper’ bug that I’ve described in this topic:

A new chat has no effect, this bug appears to be due to some kind of stall where the real instance is never materialised, so I’m left with the ‘dummy, unconfigured’ version of the card.

Thanks for the additional info. We’ll investigate.

I’m not sure why but it seems like the wrong screenshot was uploaded, the screenshot I intended to upload was the same one as in “Tool calls flash ‘Call MCP Tool’ before becoming the actual tool instance”. I can’t seem to edit the post now, oh well.
