Feature request for product/service

Anysphere Extensions (Remote SSH, Python, Dev Containers, WSL, C/C++/C#)

Describe the request

Add-on that lets you edit text files on remote servers using SSH credentials, without leaving the editor.

Use case:
Open, edit, and save files on remote servers (production, staging, VMs, etc.) directly from Cursor, instead of connecting via terminal and using vim, nano, or cat. Useful for quick fixes, debugging, or editing configs without switching tools.

Benefits:

Edit remote files with the same experience as local ones
Avoid switching between terminal and editor
Use Cursor features (autocomplete, AI, search) on remote files
Secure connection via SSH

I know it isn’t editing them right on cursor yourself, but I have MCP tools setup to deploy and pull files from my servers, both Digital Ocean droplets and VM’s hosted in my home lab on proxmox. Maybe a interm idea for you?
