Hey, thanks for the report.

Cursor uses the OpenVSX marketplace instead of the VS Code Marketplace. If the CircuitPython v2 extension isn’t published on OpenVSX, it won’t appear in Cursor’s search.

Workarounds:

  • Download the .vsix file from the VS Code Marketplace and install it manually in Cursor (Extensions → ··· menu → Install from VSIX)

Did this work for you? If I try I see this error “Error: Unable to install extension ‘wmerkens.vscode-circuitpython-v2’ as it is not compatible with VS Code ‘1.99.3’.” The extension requires 1.103.1.
