### 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

1. Open Cursor.
2. Attempt to connect to a remote machine using GitHub Tunnel / VS Code Tunnel.
3. Cursor prompts: “Extension ‘Remote - Tunnels’ is required to open the remote window.Do you want to install the extension?”
4. Click “Install” or confirm the prompt.
5. Error appears: Remote - Tunnels not found on marketplace
