Does this stop you from using Cursor

Yes - Cursor is unusable

The error is really annoying and causes many interruptions. I would appreciate your help in resolving it. Thanks!

Hey, thanks for the report.

Try this workaround:

Legacy Terminal Tool:

  • Cursor Settings CMD + Shift + J > Agents > Inline Editing & Terminal > enable “Legacy Terminal Tool”
  • CMD + Shift + P > Terminal: Kill All Terminals
  • Fully restart Cursor

If that doesn’t help, we’ll need logs to debug:

  • Help > Toggle Developer Tools > Console
  • Send a screenshot or paste any red errors
  • Try opening Extension Monitor: CMD + Shift + P > Developer: Open Extension Monitor and check what it shows for extensionHost

Also check:

  • What extensions do you have installed in SSH mode? Try disabling everything except the built-ins
  • Sometimes third-party extensions conflict with Remote SSH

Let me know how it goes, and the Developer Tools logs will be especially helpful if the workaround doesn’t fix it.

Hard restarting Cursor does not help.

This error keeps repeating on DevTools/Console on any Agent call:
