How to SSH into Cloud Agent VM?

[pauluslimma]

Documentation at Cloud Agents | Cursor Docs says

After a cloud agent has made changes, you can directly access the cloud instance to test:

1. SSH into the VM: In the cloud agent sidebar, find your agent and click the dropdown menu → select “Open VM”

2. Port Forwarding: Once connected, you can set up port forwarding to access web services running in the cloud instance

3. Interactive Testing: You can run commands, check logs, and test functionality directly in the cloud environment

However, I cannot find “Open VM” button anywhere.

Ah, I see the issue! You’re clicking the sidebar’s “…” menu, but that’s not where the “Open VM” option lives.

Instead, click on the cloud agent to open its main pane, then look for a dropdown menu within that agent window - the “Open Virtual Machine” option should be there.

But we should make it easier to access, thanks for the question. Hope this helps!

It’s not there, either. For some reason, whole UI is pretty different on me compared to your screenshot
