Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?
Cloud Agent (GitHub, Slack, Web, Linear)
Describe the Bug
Product / area: Cloud Agents → Create Environment (repository selection)
Summary
I cannot create a Cloud Agent environment for a private repository I own. The “Create a New Environment” modal shows “No repositories match your search” when I search for the repo, even though the Cursor GitHub App already has access to it.
Account details
GitHub user: ekemper
Repo type: private, under my personal GitHub account
Cursor Privacy Mode: Privacy Mode (Active) — team-enforced (not Legacy)
What I see
Confirmed the target repo is granted to the Cursor GitHub App
Disconnected and reconnected GitHub from Cursor Integrations
Reinstalled / reconfigured the Cursor GitHub App for ekemper
Retried Create Environment and searched again for the same repo
Same result each time: the repo never appears in the picker.
Privacy Mode check
Cursor Settings → Privacy shows Privacy Mode: Active
Message: “This setting is enforced for your team.”
Not on Privacy Mode (Legacy)
Ask
Please investigate a stale GitHub App installation / repo sync mapping on the Cursor backend for my account. This matches the known issue where previously connected repos fail to reappear in the environment list after reconnect/reinstall, even when App permissions are correct.
Happy to provide screenshots, Cursor account email, request IDs, or any other diagnostics you need.
Steps to Reproduce
Cloud Agents → create a new environment
Modal: “Select one or more repositories”
Search for the target repository by name
Result: “No repositories match your search.”
Continue remains disabled
GitHub App status (verified)
Cursor GitHub App is installed on my personal account (ekemper)
Repository access is set to Only select repositories
The target repository is already included in the selected list (along with a couple of other personal repos)
Save is disabled when opening that screen with no changes (expected — selection already saved)
On the install target list I also see an unrelated org with “Installations and requests are disabled for this account” — that org is not the one I’m trying to use
What I’ve already tried (twice)
Expected Behavior
Expected behavior
Repositories already granted to the Cursor GitHub App should appear in the Cloud Agents environment repository picker so I can create an environment and continue setup.
Actual behavior
Picker returns no matches for a repo the GitHub App already has access to.
