Problem or use case

I've been interested in t3-code since release. I have a cursor subscription and use cursor desktop all the time. When opening t3-code I tried enabling cursor. This is the message I received:

Image

Needs attention- Could not verify Cursor Agent authentication status. Cursor ACP model discovery failed. Check server logs for details.

Initially I thought this was because t3-code's cursor link was in beta... So I discounted use of t3-code.

Today I investigated, and this error occurs because I don't have the Cursor CLI installed...

Proposed solution

Link to https://cursor.com/docs/cli/installation in the error message:

Needs attention - Could not verify Cursor Agent authentication status. Cursor ACP model discovery failed. Check server logs for details. This may be because Cursor CLI is not installed, after installation restart t3-code, else it may be due to your ACP setup.

Why this matters

Without it, uninformed users like myself, can leapfrog from IDEs like Cursor to t3-code more seamlessly

Smallest useful scope

Changing the error message should suffice

Alternatives considered

Alternative would be building automatic installation of the Cursor CLI into t3-code, which it isn't already available. But I think this is likely out of scope.
