Remote-SSH extension can't be found in extensions market

I use the windows 11 OS, when I search this extension

Then I deleted the cursor, and deleted both %USERPROFILE%.cursor and %APPDATA%\Roaming\Cursor folders. Finally I reinstalled the cursor, but thr problem persisted.

I I found that not only the Remote-SSH extension was not searchable, but all the extensions published by Microsoft were not searchable. Here are the results of my search in cursor and vscode


I got the same issue. Any Solutions you found working?
Anysphere SSH is not working for me at all, cannot connect to my servers.

@Kabel_man, could you share the error logs you see from the Anysphere SSH extension so we can take a closer look?

Sure that would be great. I would need to stop using cursor otherwise.

Steps i already took:

  • SSH into the server with bash to test connection (works)
  • allow cursor in firewall to setup inbound and outbound ports/connections
  • tried to revert to old microsoft ssh but reverting not possible currently
  • info: this local server is login with password not with ssh-key
    I am on windows 10 pro, server is Proxmox 9.0.3 (linux kernel 6.14.8 Debian 13) I login with root user.

If you install the extension via command line, you will find something interesting.

% cursor --install-extension ms-vscode-remote.remote-ssh
Installing extensions...
Installing extension 'ms-vscode-remote.remote-ssh'...
Extension 'anysphere.remote-ssh' v1.0.34 was successfully installed.

It will be replaced by Cursor’s own version of Remote SSH automatically

I imagine that’s because of the licensing restrictions Microsoft puts on all their extensions:
