I’m experiencing persistent issues connecting my Cursor IDE (version 0.40.3) to my Replit project via SSH on my MacOS Catalina 10.15.7 system. Despite multiple attempts using different methods, I’ve been unable to establish a successful connection.
Initially, I tried to manually set up the SSH connection to my Replit project within Cursor. I generated an SSH key pair specifically for Replit, added the public key to my Replit account, and entered the connection details provided by Replit into Cursor. However, this method failed to establish a connection, with Cursor seemingly attempting to connect but ultimately failing without clear error messages.
Following this, I attempted to use Replit’s one-click integration feature with Cursor. This approach also failed, but provided more detailed logs. The logs showed that Cursor was unable to find the SSH key, despite its presence on my system. I encountered “Permission denied (password,publickey)” errors, indicating authentication problems.
Throughout my troubleshooting attempts, I’ve:
- Generated and verified Replit-specific SSH keys
- Carefully entered all connection details provided by Replit
- Attempted both manual configuration and Replit’s one-click integration
- Reviewed and adjusted SSH config files as necessary
Despite these efforts, I remain unable to connect Cursor to my Replit project via SSH. This issue significantly impairs my ability to use Cursor as my preferred IDE for Replit projects.
Key concerns:
- Cursor’s inability to locate or use the Replit-specific SSH keys on my system
- Lack of clear error messages or troubleshooting guidance within Cursor
- The failure of both manual setup and Replit’s integrated setup feature
I would greatly appreciate a thorough investigation into these SSH connection issues between Cursor and Replit. Any guidance on resolving these problems or insights into potential conflicts would be extremely helpful in allowing me to use Cursor effectively with my Replit projects.
