From last evening, my Gemni 3 flash stops to respond that it always throw Provider Error after ‘Planning next moves’, I’ve confirmed it is not a context issue since I also create new chat to test. It is quite annoying since Gemni 3 Flash is my main model for months, and it really bothers me. I’ve tried other models, Gemni 3 Pro and sonnet 4.5 are both working without error, only Gemni 3 Flash is responding with the provider error. See below for my screenshots and error request id for a gemni 3 flash request Request ID: 23f55162-9287-49b7-a3c3-5c5e6e6fbe92 {“error”:57,“details”:{“title”:“Provider Error”,“detail”:“We’re having trouble connecting to the model provider.

Hey, thanks for the report. I see the request ID and screenshots - helpful. A couple quick checks: 1. Network diagnostics: Cursor Settings \> Network \> Run Diagnostics - share the results 2. Which mode: try the same request in regular chat (Ask mode) - does the error repeat? 3. Custom API keys: Settings \> Models - do you have any custom API keys enabled (OpenAI Base URL or Gemini API key)? 4. MCP servers: if you’re using MCP servers - try disabling them temporarily Other models work - so it’s not a general network issue. Let me know the results, especially network diagnostics and regular chat. If it continues - I’ll pass it to the team with your request ID. ---

I think I find the issue, with needle mcp( [Needle MCP Server — Local AI for Needle | Needle Engine Documentation](https://engine.needle.tools/docs/ai/needle-mcp-server.html) ) on, gemni 3 pro flash doesn’t work in agent mode. In chat mode it works and by turning needle mcp off, it works in agent mode. Although not 100% assure this mcp is the cause, why other model works with it and why the error thrown is provider error > **[Needle Engine Documentation](https://engine.needle.tools/docs/ai/needle-mcp-server.html)** > > Needle Engine is a web-based runtime for 3D apps.
