Currently it seems that the CLI say running headless , does not sync at all with the editor the sessions or chats (if you resume). This leads to situation where you can’t continue chats you did in cli or you are missing chat history. I’m running into this when I try to run cursor remotely locally.
Would appreciate a way to do this.
Cursor IDE
Right now cursor agent ls (run from a directory like ~/repos) shows many resumable agent sessions, but the same sessions don’t appear in the IDE’s agent/chat history for that workspace. It feels like two separate systems.
Request: A single unified list of agent sessions that appears consistently in the terminal (cursor agent ls / resume) and the editor (sidebar or history), and respects the same workspace scope (or makes the scope obvious and filterable),
That would reduce confusion about “where did that session go?” and make it easier to resume work from either surface.
Not sure why this is not implemented already.
The CLI and IDE should be using the same same store for chats for the same workspace. I use both, cli and the IDE, and it’s so annoying when I’m not able to continue the session when switching between the two.
From the cli you can actually see the ide sessions, but if you continue them in cli, they don’t sync with the IDE. I built a open souce tool you can find here kinda like claude local remote for cursor you can basically control your cursor ide from the phone over local network, this is where this problem arose for me.
Interesting, for me I can’t even see the ide chats in cli. I suspect it has something to do with nixos being not fhs compliant.
Your project looks really cool and exactly what i was looking for, will try it out!
This would be a huge lift! Please prioritize!
