Can't use Docs, getting connection error

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

Ever since the update 2.2.27 and above, I can no longer use docs, everytime I mention them in the prompt, and send the prompt, it gives me connection error and if I removed the docs, it works fine, I’m using Mullvad VPN, and without VPN, I can’t use AI at all since its my end issue

For AI issues: which model did you use?

All of them

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the report.

This looks like an HTTP/2 or serialization issue when using @docs over a VPN. Could you try these steps?

  1. Disable HTTP/2: Settings Ctrl+, > search for “HTTP/2” > enable “Disable HTTP/2” > restart Cursor
  2. Check MCP servers: Settings > Cursor > MCP. If you have any configured, disable them
  3. Run Network Diagnostics: Settings > Network > Run Diagnostics, then share a screenshot
  4. Test without extensions: run cursor --disable-extensions in a terminal

Also, does anything work without @docs, like normal chat without referencing docs?

Let me know what you find.

Part 2

You welcome! Here are the screenshots of the network diagnostics, I perhaps tried everything and no use, still giving me errors whenever I use @docs

Otherwise, everything works fine like a normal chat without referencing docs, it only errors when I reference the docs

Hey @NightStars

Can you try again? This should be fixed now :crossed_fingers:

Thank you a lot! It seems some docs started to work! For example, Next.js docs alone work or “Next.js, Cloudflare, TypeScript, Framer Motion“ together also work

Though, when I use the docs TailwindCSS, I get the error again

I think TailwindCSS docs are having connection errors or something like it, maybe some other docs I don’t use or not aware of are also having issues like TailwindCSS

Please grab another Request ID like this one if you get the error again! :pray:
