Getting a Request ID
Learn how to find and share request IDs when reporting issues to the Cursor team
When the Cursor team are investigating a technical issue, sometimes, we may ask you to provide us with a “request ID”.
What is a request ID?
A request ID is a unique identifier that is generated when you submit a request to Cursor. It is a string of characters that is used to identify the request in our internal systems.
It usually follows a randomized format, such as: 8f2a5b91-4d3e-47c6-9f12-5e8d94ca7d23.
How do I find a request ID?
Request IDs are highly limited when Private Mode is enabled, so we recommend disabling Private Mode when reporting an issue.
As a reminder, users on a business plan have Private Mode enabled by default, by their organization’s admin.
You can retrieve a request ID from within Cursor, by running the Report AI Action command.
You you can do this by:
- Opening the command palette
⌘⇧P - Typing
Report AI Action - Selecting the
Report AI Actionoption
This will open a new popup, listing your most recent AI actions across Chat, Composer, CMD+K and Tab.
Select the action you want to report, by matching the time and feature the action was used in. Once you select the action, you have the option to copy the request ID to your clipboard. With it copied, you can send it back to us to look into!
