@bcherny , @8enmann : could you please help on this?
Yes it was working before the auto update
This has just stopped working for me also, it linked fine with 1.0.0, but now in 1.0.4 it refuses to relink after I changed some things.
I have this issue too. I see it "connected" when looking at /status but when using /ide the IDE doesn't appear. tried this in cursor and windsurf, neither work.
The IDE integration features don't work at all now.
using WSL2 btw.
this happened in 1.0.4 @ashwin-ant
@ltawfik @np-anthropic : could you please help on this blocking issue??

I just installed it and yeah it does not work, the extension is installed properly and visible within Cursor, but it says there's no available IDEs detected within claude.
