Hey, thanks for the report.

I can see Cloud Agents are already working in your IDE, so the setup is done. Looks like the CLI isn’t picking up the existing config.

A couple of questions:

  1. Is the CLI logged into the same account as the IDE? (Check agent status, or just re-log with agent logout and agent login.)
  2. Is it the same repo where Cloud Agents work in the IDE?

Also, try updating to the latest version with agent update.

If everything matches, it’s a bug and I’ll pass it to the team.

Hi @deanrie

  1. Yes, I have logged into same account. Cursor IDE, Cursor Web and cursor cli logged in to same account. Tried logging out and re-login again. Still same issue.
  2. Yes, It’s the same repo.

I am already using the latest cursor cli agent version.

Same issue here, just seeing Please set up cloud agents to move to cloud but cloud agents work elsewhere (web, slack). Will this be fixed soon?
