Hey, thanks for the report. This error is commonly caused by MCP servers or network settings. Let’s check a few things: Quick fix to try first: - If you have MCP servers configured, try disabling them temporarily - this fixed similar issues for other users Diagnostics needed: 1. Cursor Settings \> Network \> Run Diagnostics - share a screenshot 2. Disable HTTP/2: Press `CMD+,` \> search “HTTP/2” \> enable “Disable HTTP/2” \> restart Cursor 3. Test with clean profile: `cursor --user-data-dir=/tmp/cursor-test` from terminal Please also share: - 2-3 Request IDs from failed attempts (Chat menu \> Copy Request ID) - What extensions do you have installed? - Are you using any MCP servers? - What region/country are you in? - Using VPN or proxy? Similar solved case where MCP servers were the cause: [GPT-5.2 - agent mode not working](https://forum.cursor.com/t/gpt-5-2-agent-mode-not-working/146758) Let me know what you find. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.cursor.com/t/solution-needed-we-re-having-trouble-connecting-to-the-model-provider-this-might-be-temporary-please-try-again-in-a-moment/148004)._
