Agents launched in Cloud via the Cursor mobile app or via Chrome browser do not appear in Cursor IDE’s Agents sidebar.
One of the key unlocks that Cursor 2 provided was being able to trigger a cloud agent to implement a plan from anywhere, such as the mobile app, before opening my laptop, opening Cursor, and picking up the cloud agent from there for any review or followups.
Now, agents launched in the cloud (in the same project) are not shown in the Agents window’s recent agents sidebar, meaning I have to use the mobile app or cursor.com/agents to even confirm that the Agent was ran and executed the request.
No evidence agent was created and ran in recent agents pane
Expected Behavior
I would expect to be able to load and review the cloud agent I created in the same project via the mobile app or Chrome browser in the Cursor desktop app
First thing to check, can you confirm you’re logged into the same account in Cursor IDE and on cursor.com/agents? Go to Cursor Settings gear icon > Account and check the email. It needs to match the account you use on the web or mobile app. If there’s a mismatch, agents from one account won’t show up in the other.
Also, make sure you’re on the latest version. You’re on 3.0.16, but 3.1.x is already rolling out and includes improvements to the Agents Window.
If the accounts do match and you’re still not seeing web or mobile started agents in the sidebar, let me know and I’ll flag it with the team.
“Custom task draft status”, “Members app renaming”, and "Healthcare service conditions list were all started in Cursor Agents Window and is shown on Chrome web app.
“Unified system for conventional commits” was local and therefore not expected to show in Chrome web app.
“Draft saving encounter” was started via the mobile app, and only shows on the Chrome web app, despite being in the same project. I cannot find or act on this Agent from the Agents window.
This is not a one-off issue-- I’m giving one example so as not to share more information than is necessary.
Hey, thanks for confirming and sharing the screenshots. The situation is clear, and this really looks like a bug on our side, not an account mismatch.
To help the team find the cause faster, can you share a couple details about the specific Draft saving encounter:
The URL of this agent on cursor.com/agents. The address will include bc-..., that’s the bcId we need.
Was the agent run as cloud, or as local via mobile forwarding to your Mac? The screenshot shows +1338 -56, so it did make changes. I mainly need to know where it was running.
Does restarting the IDE and resizing or reopening the Agents Window change anything?
Also, can you download the stable build from Cursor · Download and check if it reproduces there? Sometimes newer builds affect sidebar sync.
@harryfear thanks for the report and for the bcId.
Looks like this matches a case we already fixed with pagination for the cloud agents list in the sidebar. The sidebar was only fetching a limited window of the most recent agents, so some would disappear. The fix is already shipped in newer versions.
Can you both update to the latest stable from Cursor · Download and check if the missing agents show up in the Agents Window? @MishaTheMisha you were on 3.0.16, you can update via Cmd+Shift+P then “Attempt Update”, or download from the downloads page to get the latest version.
If web or mobile started agents still don’t sync on the latest stable, let me know and include the bcId of a specific missing agent and your Cursor version. I’ll open a separate ticket with those details.
@harryfear thanks for checking on 3.2.21. That means this isn’t the same bug we fixed with the pagination update. The fact that one auto-spawned cloud session (Setup Dev) is syncing while the others aren’t is a useful signal and helps narrow it down.
A few quick questions so we can open a separate ticket:
Roughly how many cloud agents do you have total on cursor.com/agents (like 10, 100, 1000+)?
Where were the missing agents started from: cursor.com/agents in a browser, mobile, via SDK, via automation, or a mix?
Do you currently have the same repo open in the IDE as the one that contains the missing agents on the web? And are you on the same branch, or a different one?
If you open DevTools Help > Toggle Developer Tools > Console and then refresh the Agents Window, do you see any red errors or warnings about listBackgroundComposers / BackgroundComposer? A screenshot or the last couple log lines would help.
Can you share the email on the account? If you don’t want to post it publicly, tell me and I’ll DM you so we can check on our side.
For @MishaTheMisha: if you’re still here, can you confirm if you can now see your web/mobile agents on 3.2.x? If yes, great. If not, same questions as above.
Once we have this, I’ll file a ticket with the bcId and details. No need for a video or Zoom yet, text details are enough to start.
