My Extension not searchable in Cursor Marketplace (published & verified on Open VSX

Hi team,

My extension Extra Cursor Caret Height is published and verified on Open VSX but doesn’t appear in Cursor’s extension search.

Open VSX listing: Open VSX Registry

Details:

  • Publisher: shibbirweb (verified)
  • Current version: 1.4.2
  • Published to both VS Code Marketplace and Open VSX
  • Works fine when installed via VSIX — just not discoverable in Cursor’s marketplace search

I’ve seen other threads where a manual re-index resolved this. Would someone be able to trigger a sync?

Thanks!

Hey, thanks for the report. Good news, the extension is already indexed and shows up in search. Try searching for “Extra Cursor Caret Height” or by id shibbirweb.extra-cursor-caret-height in the Extensions panel. If it doesn’t show up right away, reload the window via Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+P > Reload Window.

About manual sync, you don’t need it. The Cursor marketplace is a mirror of Open VSX with periodic syncing, so there can be a few hours of delay between publishing and it appearing in search. It fixes itself, which is what happened here. Your v1.4.2 already matches the latest version on Open VSX.

Let me know if you still can’t see it after a reload.

Thanks for clarifying. I double-checked on my side, and it also doesn’t show up for me by publisher or by ID, so it’s not a ranking issue like I first thought. Sorry about the wrong lead.

The most common reason for this is an engine version mismatch. Cursor is built on a specific VS Code version, and if your extension’s package.json has engines.vscode set to a newer version than what Cursor currently uses, the gallery filters the extension out of both search and direct lookup, even though it can still remain on Open VSX.

Could you please check the engines.vscode value in package.json? You can see the VS Code version inside Cursor via Help > About on the line that says VS Code. If your extension requires a higher version, lower engines.vscode to ^1.96 or to the version Cursor shows, then republish to Open VSX. After the next sync, it should appear in search.

If it’s already compatible and still doesn’t show up, let me know and I’ll log this as a separate case on our side. For now, you can suggest installing via VSIX as a temporary workaround.
