Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?
Background Agent (GitHub, Slack, Web, Linear)
Describe the Bug
I added my custom MCP server under “Tools & MCP”.
The settings are as follows:
{
"mcpServers": {
"weegloo": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"mcp-remote",
"https://{my-remote-mcp-server}/mcp",
"--header",
"Authorization:Bearer XXXXX"
]
}
}
}
The MCP server was successfully registered.
However, when I try to talk to the Agent afterward, the following error appears:
We’re having trouble connecting to the model provider. This might be temporary - please try again in a moment.
(Request ID: 11d29f24-7912-4aef-b66c-bf517c799b7b)
After logging out and signing in as a Free Plan user, it works normally.
However, when logging in again as a Pro Plan user, the same error still occurs.
The issue occurs on both Windows and macOS.
Steps to Reproduce
- Add MCP Server
- Ask something to AI

Does this stop you from using Cursor
No - Cursor works, but with this issue
