Cant seem to index a single docsite

I tried just adding the docs url

> **[Langfuse Documentation - Langfuse](https://langfuse.com/docs)**
>
> Langfuse is an open source LLM engineering platform. It includes observability, analytics, and experimentation features.

Tried the html sitemap method

> [@Adding Documentations that don't have index-page or sitemaps](https://forum.cursor.com/t/adding-documentations-that-dont-have-index-page-or-sitemaps/15171/3):
>
> for example, in case of example.com/xyz/abc use only example.com as prefix the HTML-XML-sitemap of example.com as the Entrypoint is that what you did?

by setting [https://langfuse.com](https://langfuse.com) as prefix and [https://www.xml-sitemaps.com/download/langfuse.com-3db9835b9/sitemap.html?view=1](https://www.xml-sitemaps.com/download/langfuse.com-3db9835b9/sitemap.html?view=1) as entrypoint

Tried all the variations I could think off with appending slashes and whatnot.

Also tried on the following docs as a test :

- [Overview | RunPod Documentation](https://docs.runpod.io/overview)
- [Setup - PrimeVue](https://primevue.org/setup/)

It always just processes for 1 sec then says 0 pages indexed.

Nothing in any of the Output Tabs related to any issues as this is probably done server side and no trace is coming back to us.

Is anyone able to index anything right now ?

I have also experienced document crawling not working on sites that it previously worked for and documented it here:

> [@What does this red dot mean in custom docs?](https://forum.cursor.com/t/what-does-this-red-dot-mean-in-custom-docs/7138/6):

> Hi @Blorf299 , Here are the values I used at: Cursor Settings \> Features \> Docs \> + Add new doc when using 0.41.3: // initial input field https://getuikit.com/docs/introduction // prefix https://getuikit.com/docs // entrypoint https://getuikit.com/docs/introduction I am now also getting: Indexed 0 pages There are no logs present in Output \> Window. So seeing how [these settings worked when i last tried it](https://forum.cursor.com/t/using-docs-in-cursor-projects-how-to-use-the-mention-feature/13538/6), I would say there is possibly a bug. Below are screenshots of what I attempte…

Currently at `0.41.3`.

Same issue here with `0.41.3`. I was previously able to index [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/knowsuchagency/promptic/refs/heads/main/README.md](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/knowsuchagency/promptic/refs/heads/main/README.md) but no longer. The indexing simply doesn’t work at all. I copied and pasted the docs to pastebin in case the issue was accessing github but it also fails to fetch the page and index it.

@Butanium - While it does seem like Cursor is having issues getting an up to date version of those docs, it looks like there is a cached version already saved, so you should be able to use that for now! I’ve reported this one to look into - thanks for letting us know.

Hey, just adding the URL you sent should work to at least load the cache, but I was seeing `Update failed` in the UI when the scraper attempted to get a more up-to-date copy.

Maybe that’s general problem and cursor can’t index unpopular libs?

I just had the same problem @DieHardV trying to index geldata as well. I even tried the same generated sitemap as you, but am still seeing “0 pages indexed” or “1 page indexed” with just the sitemap being indexed. Did you ever find a solution to this?
