Hey, I am surely mising something. When I am using Cursor in classic VS Code mode to make use of devcontainers. Currently, I am working on a web project and want to use the built-in browser to take screenshots and conduct testing. As long as I am on my machine running cursor on my local repo, I can use the browser with @browser just fine. But when I open the project in my devcontainer (“Rebuild and reopen in container”) Cursor tells me, it cannot access the browser MCP and I must install `cursor-ide-browser`.
I have all the necessary settings enabled to use the built-in browser and, as I said, locally, it works. But I cannot get it to work in the devcontainer.
to my user settings JSON but I still get this error in the Cursor IDE Browser Log:
