Hey, this is a known issue. The backend is processing your requests successfully, but the responses aren’t showing up in the chat UI. Since you haven’t used Cursor in a while, your project index is probably out of date.
Try this first. It’s been the most effective fix:
- Reindex the project database:
Cmd + Shift + J> Indexing & Docs > Reindex. Wait for it to finish, then start a new chat.
If that doesn’t help:
-
Test in an empty folder: File > Open Folder > pick an empty directory, open a new chat, type “hello”. Does it respond?
-
Disable HTTP/2: Add this to your
settings.json(Cmd + Shift + P> Preferences: Open User Settings (JSON)):"cursor.general.disableHttp2": trueRestart Cursor after.
-
Run network diagnostics: Cursor Settings > Network > Run Diagnostics. Share a screenshot if anything looks off.
