Extensions untrusted

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

Hi everyone,

We publish the following extensions:

  • altimateai/vscode-altimate-mcp-server
  • innoverio/vscode-dbt-power-user

We’ve run into an issue with Cursor’s trust popup.
When installing the dbt Power User extension, the trust dialog sometimes does not appear. However, if we manually install its underlying dependencies first, the trust popup reliably shows up again.

The dbt Power User extension depends on:

  • ms-python/python
  • samuelcolvin/jinjahtml
  • altimateai/vscode-altimate-mcp-server

Ideally, we’d like both our extensions and their dependencies to be properly recognized and trusted by Cursor without needing manual installation steps.

Has anyone encountered this before, or is there guidance on how to ensure trust prompts trigger correctly for extensions with dependencies?

Thanks!

Steps to Reproduce

Go to extensions
Search for dbt power user
Install
Installation is stuck in progress

Extension is installed
