I am currently connecting to the server via SSH through Cursor, and the server may have some network port controls that prevent codebase indexing from working.

I would like to know what kind of network access process is required between the remote and local for Cursor’s codebase indexing service? So that I can make the appropriate configuration.  
Thank you!
