Hey, this is a known limitation. Remote Tunnels ms-vscode.remote-server isn’t supported in Cursor by default. If it works on your older machine, it’s probably because the extension was cached from an earlier install or import, but it’s not available in the Cursor marketplace.
Recommended workaround:
- Use the Anysphere Remote SSH extension
anysphere.remote-ssh. It’s built into Cursor. - Since your SLURM cluster doesn’t allow inbound SSH to compute nodes, you can run a forwarding service like Pinggy https://pinggy.io/ or ngrok on the compute node to expose SSH, then connect using our Remote SSH extension.
Our team confirmed this here: Remote - Tunnel not available anymore
I get that this is a real gap for HPC users. The team knows about it, and your report helps us prioritize it.
Let me know if the Pinggy plus Remote SSH approach works for your SLURM setup.
