Streamlined Bug Reporting Feature

Feature request for product/service

Cursor IDE

Describe the request

Add a streamlined bug reporting feature in Cursor that:

  1. Gathers required info - System details, Cursor version, error messages, steps to reproduce
  2. Finds the right category - Automatically determines where to post (Bug Reports, Feature Requests, etc.)
  3. Checks for duplicates - Searches existing forum posts for similar issues before posting
  4. Formats correctly - Uses the forum’s bug report template

Why This Would Be Useful

Reporting bugs currently requires manually gathering version info, copying logs, navigating the forum, checking for duplicates, and formatting. A streamlined bug reporting feature would make this instant and ensure complete, properly formatted reports.

Questions

  • What would be the best approach? A command like /bugreport, a UI button, auto-triggered from error dialogs, or something else?
  • Is there a Discourse API available for forum integration?
  • Could this be built as an MCP server, or should it be a built-in Cursor feature?
  • How should duplicate detection work (API search vs. semantic similarity)?

This would make bug reporting much easier and encourage more community feedback.
