Cursor

Cursor is an AI code editor that helps developers understand, write, test, review, and manage software.

Cursor

Cursor combines a code editor with AI agents that can search codebases, edit files, run terminal commands, use tools, and work on tasks in the cloud. It supports local and cloud agents, parallel subagents, code review, plugins, skills, MCP connections, and visual editing.

Developers and software teams use it for planning features, debugging, migrations, testing, pull requests, and codebase maintenance. A free Hobby plan is available; paid plans include usage limits, while additional model usage and Bugbot reviews can incur usage-based charges.

Features

  • Predicts and applies the next code edit with Tab completion
  • Plans and executes coding tasks with local and cloud agents
  • Searches large codebases with Instant Grep
  • Runs terminal commands, builds, tests, and installs in a sandbox
  • Uses parallel subagents with different models
  • Supports plugins, skills, and MCP connections
  • Reviews pull requests and helps fix code issues
  • Includes an integrated browser and visual design mode

Use cases

  • Plan and implement features across multiple files
  • Debug applications using execution data and screenshots
  • Generate tests and run builds from the editor
  • Review pull requests and address automated feedback
  • Run long coding tasks with cloud agents
  • Apply team conventions with rules, skills, and plugins

Pros

    Cons

      Latest updates

      • Agent SDK

        The Agent SDK allows you to define an agent as a folder of code, test it with evals, and deploy it to Cursor or your own infrastructure.

      • Cloud Agent Canvases and Environment Improvements

        Cloud agents can now build canvases; the Environments API creates and manages cloud environments; environments support up to 300 repositories.

      • Origin App Marketplace

        Origin integrates with over 20 apps, and the marketplace is open to public submissions.

      • Remote control for local agents

        You can now see and reply to agents running on your computer from the Cursor iOS app.

      • Rollouts and Security Review

        Rollouts watches every change as it deploys and reports its health per environment; Security Review reports bugs on every pull request.
