"error_bad_request

Hey, thanks for the report. The ERROR_BAD_REQUEST often happens for two reasons - MCP servers and the Override OpenAI Base URL toggle.

Please check:

  • Settings > MCP - disable all MCP servers and restart Cursor. This has helped before: Always show the error:Bad Request
  • Settings > Models > API Keys - if custom keys are enabled, temporarily disable them. Make sure Override OpenAI Base URL is off. There’s a known bug with this toggle: API Keys for ChatGPT and Anthropic Failing
  • Create a new chat and see if the error reproduces there.

If it doesn’t help, please send:

  • Screenshots of Settings > MCP and Settings > Models > API Keys (showing enabled MCPs and the state of Override OpenAI Base URL)
  • Confirmation whether it works in a new chat
  • New Request IDs after trying with MCP off and Override Base URL off
  • Console errors (Help > Toggle Developer Tools > Console) at the moment of the error

Let me know which step helped.
