Worktrees and multiple agents broken in Cursor 3 on Linux

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

  • The dropdown under the Agent chat window shows “Local” but the option for “Worktree” and “Cloud” are both greyed out. No way to fix it. Even ran it on a fresh GitHub repo. Reverting to 2.6 fixed it.

Steps to Reproduce

Run Cursor 3 on Ubuntu 22.04 using cursor . in a Git repo. Go to the dropdown under the agent window that defaults to “Local”

Expected Behavior

Worktrees and cloud should be an option. And multiple agents should also work.

Operating System

Linux

Version Information

Cursor 3 …

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Yes - Cursor is unusable

Hey, this is a known issue. Worktrees are temporarily unavailable right now, and the team is aware and tracking it.

The Cloud option can also be greyed out if Cursor can’t detect a Git remote in the project. Make sure the repo has a remote set up, like a GitHub origin, since that’s required for Cloud mode to work.

As a workaround for now, you can use Cloud agents via https://cursor.com/agents if you need parallel work.

The main thread for this issue is here: Can’t find a way to run an agent on a worktree Can't find a way to run an agent on a worktree

Let me know if Cloud mode still doesn’t work after you verify the remote.
