Where does the bug appear (feature/product)? Cursor for iOS Describe the Bug I wanted to run the app on my Mac and view the live actions on my iPhone, but I haven’t been able to make it work. The remote control feature does not work regardless of what I try. I also noticed that Cursor CLI recommen…

Hey, thanks for the report. Quick important note: Composer’s advice to disable Privacy Mode is wrong. Remote Control works with Privacy Mode in shared mode. It only gets disabled if you fully block cloud data storage, so that’s not the reason. Your version 3.9.16 and plan Pro are supported, so it’s…

When I open Settings → Agents, the Remote Control toggle re-enables itself with an animation every time. I turned it on, but it looks like it resets or reactivates itself when I open the settings again. This might be a bug. My Git repository is hosted on the official gitlab.com , so it is not a self…

Thanks for checking, and yes, gitlab.com is the key detail here. Let me clarify what I said earlier. In my previous message I pointed at self-hosted repos, but the GitLab issue turned out to be broader. It affects the official gitlab.com too, not just self-hosted. So the test “try on gitlab.com ” wo…

I attached a video showing the toggle behavior. I tested it with a GitHub repository, and Remote Control worked there. Thank you for helping me identify the issue. Now I have another limitation: I can’t use a custom model with Remote Control. If possible, could you consider adding support for …

The GitHub test cleared things up. It confirms the issue is in how Remote Control parsed the GitLab repo URL during handoff. This is a bug on our side, not your settings. The fix is already merged and should ship in one of the next updates. After you update, please try again with the GitLab repo. A…

Title: Remote Control fails silently on Bitbucket (same as GitLab URL parsing bug?) Where does the bug appear? Cursor for iOS + Cursor Desktop (Remote Control) Describe the bug Remote Control does not work with my Bitbucket repo. When I run /remote-control (with or without a follow-up message), …

Same issue here, could someone help?

hey @HelKyle , have you tried the method above? what issue or you facing specifically? (there are multiple thread ongoing in this chat)

I’m getting an error when I’m trying to start a remote local agent from my phone. The error is “You don’t have access to this repo anymore.”. Everything is fine with the access and the toggle in settings is enabled. If I start a local agent and try /remote-control, it just doesn’t have any effect —…

A quick update for anyone who just joined. About the GitLab case: this is a confirmed bug in how Remote Control parsed the repo URL during handoff. The fix is already merged, but it did not make it into 3.9.16 released on June 27. It’ll land in one of the next updates. After you update, please try …
