Cursor rolls out shared Projects for teams in beta
Cursor is turning Projects into a shared workspace where teammates and their coding agents can use a common task board and context. The beta requires a team account and a supported Cursor version for sharing.
Cursor is rolling out a beta that lets teammates share a Project with their coding agents, a task board and common project context. The company's Nov. 10 post says the feature is rolling out to users in Cursor, while its documentation says sharing requires a team account and a supported app version.
Projects began in September as a way for an engineer to direct a group of agents through a coordinator. With the multiplayer update, each teammate has a separate chat with their own coordinator and worker agents, while the team shares project information.
Shared tasks and context
The shared task board shows what people and their agents are working on, along with the pull request behind each task. The shared context can hold requirements, diagrams, technical specifications and mockups; a decision made in one chat is accessible to agents across the Project.
Each member's agents can read and write the shared context, which appears as Context in the app. Each person's chat runs and is billed as that person.
Cursor said several of its teams use shared Projects for on-call rotations. In one handoff described by the company, an incoming engineer's coordinator checked in and had information about work in progress, unattended issues, incidents and notes, as well as channels, Linear boards and threads to monitor. An incoming agent can also take over work already in progress.
How agents communicate
Coordinators can message teammates' coordinators directly. A message opens a side chat based on the recipient's existing conversation; its reply goes back to the sending chat, and the recipient's main chat gets a note on its next turn.
The receiving agent is told which teammate's agent sent the message and treats it as untrusted input rather than an instruction from its user. It asks before sharing that user's personal files or connector data. Side chats can read the task board but cannot change it, and users can read, stop or archive them.
Agents also keep a personal store for each user, separate from the Project's shared context. A coordinator can offer to copy relevant preferences into Project rules when a teammate joins, but copies only entries the user approves.
Access and availability
Sharing requires a team account and Cursor 3.26.13 or later. Teammates must be on the same Cursor team and have access to the Project's repository; people on personal accounts or other teams cannot join.
Projects itself is available on plans that include Cloud Agents, including Premium and higher, Teams, Enterprise and legacy paid plans. It is unavailable on Free, Plus and the legacy Hobby plan, as well as with Privacy Mode (Legacy). Joining is also unavailable for archived Projects or Projects running on self-hosted machines.
A Project owner or a member who has joined can invite teammates. Members can also join through a Project link, which the owner can reset; the owner can remove other members.
