Live status
This card reads Cursor’s status page live when JavaScript is on. If nothing appears, open the page below.
What you notice says a lot about which side the problem is on. Kilobat checks both sides and says which.

This network: an office, school, hotel or country rule, or its DNS.
Kilobat compares this network’s DNS with one encrypted lookup and tests the secure connection, then says “looks blocked on this network, not down”, with what it measured. Free
Your own line: Wi-Fi, the router, your provider or DNS. Not Cursor.
Router and internet latency side by side show whether your own line is slow. Pro names the failing link, Wi-Fi, router, internet or DNS, with a fix. Free Pro
An outage at Cursor, while your line is fine.
One notification per incident, such as “Claude Code: Anthropic reports an outage — not your connection”, and the MCP tool service_status for agents. Free

“Cursor’s status page reports no problems”, then the layer that broke and what to try next. Free

Why can’t it connect? Free
Name Cursor and Kilobat checks your Wi-Fi, DNS, VPN and proxy, the connection and the server’s answer, then asks Cursor’s status page. When the page reports an outage and nothing on your side failed, the verdict leads with it. When your Mac is the problem, it says so first.
