Cursor-ide-browser connected but exposes zero tools (browser_tabs/browser_navigate tool not found)

Hey, thanks for the detailed report. The symptoms match a known pattern where cursor-ide-browser shows as connected, but the tools get filtered out before they reach the agent.

Try this workaround:

  1. Open Settings > Tools & MCP > Browser Automation.
  2. Make sure Browser Tab is selected and enabled in the dropdown.
  3. Close the current chat and start a new one. The tools load when the session starts.

If that doesn’t help, please send:

  • The Request ID from the failed call (chat context menu in the top right > Copy Request ID).
  • Any errors from Help > Toggle Developer Tools > Console when you try to use the browser.

Related threads with the same symptom for context: Browser MCP Tools Not Available and Mcp browser control totally broken (again).

This is a known issue on our side and we’re tracking it. No exact ETA for a fix yet. Let me know if the workaround helped.
