API Error 500: Internal Server Error when sending any message in Claude Code (Cursor, Windows)
Hi, I’m experiencing a consistent issue with Claude Code inside Cursor IDE.
Whenever I type ANY message in the Claude terminal (even a simple “hola”), the system immediately throws an API Error 500.
API Error: 500 {"type": "error", "error": {"type": "api_error", "message": "Internal server error"}, "request_id": "req_011CV1tljyzxr9UeHspIjZF"}
Steps to Reproduce:
Open Cursor IDE
Open Claude Code (Sonnet 4.5 – Claude Max)
Type anything in the prompt (e.g., “hola”)
Immediately receive API Error: 500
Expected Behavior:
Claude Code should process and respond normally to the prompt.
Environment:
Editor: Cursor IDE
Claude Code Version: v2.0.50
Model: Sonnet 4.5 (Claude Max)
Operating System: Windows
Internet Connection: Stable
Reproducible: Always (100% of the time)
Request ID: req_011CV1tljyzxr9UeHspIjZF
