Rocket MV Basic Extension not available for Cursor

Hi!

  I am using Cursor to code (more than just coding, Cursor excels in Agentic programming tasks, I find it better than VS Code).

  Cursor is a fork of VS Code, but it does not use the official Microsoft Visual Studio Marketplace. Instead, it uses a community-driven registry called Open VSX. Rocket MV Basic extension is not listed as a valid extension, so I can’t install it from the Extensions tab.

  Gemini tells me I have two alternatives to install the extension in Cursor:

  • Option 1: Cursor allows you to import the extensions from VS Code. This option is not working for me.
  • Option 2: Install it directly from a VSIX file, that should be downloadable from the Rocket MV Basic Extension on the VS Code Marketplace. But there is no link to download a .vsix file to install it manually.

  So I’m stuck with the installation.

  The best solution would be to add the extension to the Open VSX catalog, so it can be installed from the Extensions menu and updated automatically.
  If not possible, can anyone send me the .vsix installation file of the latest version?

I could install it from VSIX. I found the link to download the VSIX in the “Manage” menu in the Rocket MV Basic extension details within the VS Code. Then I installed manually running “Install from VSIX” in the Cursor command.

So the only pending issue would be that the extension be available in Open VSX.
