MCP SSH Tools Not Available in AI Assistant Context (Regression After Latest Update)

Hey, thanks for the report. This is a known issue with MCP tool discovery, the team is aware and looking into it.

What’s happening: MCP servers connect fine and the tools do get registered (you can see it in the logs), but the agent can’t see them. Based on other reports, this bug showed up sometime between 2.3.34 and 2.3.41.

Try these workarounds:

  1. Start a new chat and ask: “list all MCP tools you have access to”
    After that, it may start working in the same session.

  2. Downgrade to 2.3.34 or 2.3.35. Many users confirm it works there. Older versions are here: Downloads | Cursor Docs

If the workaround doesn’t help, can you share the Request ID from the broken chat (three dots in the top right of the chat > Copy Request ID). That’ll help the team debug.

Let me know if the workaround doesn’t help or if you need more info.
