I asked Cursor to help me add correct indentation to a file and while generating it, it ended up throwing an error. While it worked on other files yesterday, it's not working today. Anyone know any good resources how to use Cursor?

What was the error? I had a weird "can't connect to the MCP server" error in my live stream today, which I put down to an internet/server access related issue.

"Error calling tool 'edit_file'." I was able to reproduce it a second time and I assume there was just too much data in the file, so Cursor was unable to handle it properly. I had a lot of issues and it was again a rather frustrating experience.

In the end I managed to get it halfway done in chunks but for the last two parts, it just would always remove the code so I went and did it manually. I was only asking for correct indentation and nothing else. I was working on a longer pattern that I wanted to have better readable.

Mine was "Tool mcp__get_pull_request not found. Try enabling the MCP server or switching to Agent mode." I was in agent mode, and MCP servers were enabled, so it might be a bug in the current version.
