Describe the Bug
Hi, I’m trying to use Cursor to connect to a remote machine using GitHub Tunnel or VS Code Tunnel. When I try to set up the connection, Cursor prompts me to install the Remote - Tunnels extension. However, after I click “Install”, I get the following error:
Remote - Tunnels not found on marketplace
I already have the extension installed in my regular VS Code setup, but Cursor seems unable to fetch it from the marketplace.
Is there a way to use Remote - Tunnels in Cursor? Or is it currently unsupported?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Steps to Reproduce
- Open Cursor.
- Attempt to connect to a remote machine using GitHub Tunnel / VS Code Tunnel.
- Cursor prompts: “Extension ‘Remote - Tunnels’ is required to open the remote window.Do you want to install the extension?”
- Click “Install” or confirm the prompt.
- Error appears: Remote - Tunnels not found on marketplace

Does this stop you from using Cursor
No - Cursor works, but with this issue
