Hey, thanks for the feedback. We know the SSH remote experience isn’t great right now, especially after the recent update. This wasn’t an intentional limitation. The team is actively working on improving SSH connection stability.
To help with your specific case, I’ll need a bit more detail:
- What exactly is happening: can’t connect at all, disconnects, AI features don’t work over SSH, terminal doesn’t load?
- Your Cursor version
Help > Aboutand your OS - What kind of remote host is it: Linux server, HPC, dev container, etc.?
- Any specific errors or messages?
A few related threads discussing similar issues, you might spot your case there:
- Remote SSH forces full reconnect & MFA per window, folder change, and window reload
- Dev container remotes don't work with Glass
- Remote SSH extension host crashes + forkpty failed on Minerva HPC (resource limit issue persists after update)
Also please make sure you’re using the Anysphere Remote SSH extension, not Microsoft Remote-SSH. That’s important for things to work correctly.
Share the details and I’ll try to help in a more targeted way.
