About Cursor

Cursor is a coding agent for building ambitious software. It operates across desktop, CLI, and cloud surfaces, enabling teams to plan, write, and review code with AI assistance. It emphasizes integration into existing workflows and collaboration tools to keep coding work aligned with broader goals.

Cursor deeply learns your codebase before writing a single line, enabling subagents to explore and work in parallel. It supports planning, designing, and implementing changes, then reviewing results as part of the development lifecycle. The product highlights that agents can run on local machines or in the cloud and can be started from multiple entry points, including editors, terminals, and cloud interfaces.

Core capabilities include understanding code, planning and building features, finding and fixing bugs, reviewing changes, and customizing Cursor with plugins, skills, MCPs, and rules. It emphasizes search across large codebases, parallel work by subagents, and the ability to connect with its users’ existing tooling to streamline development.

Cursor’s pricing, platforms, and integrations are described across multiple pages. It mentions availability for desktop, CLI, and web/mobile usage, integration with Slack, GitHub, and other developer tools, and various model choices and plan tiers. It also notes plans, enterprise options, and data handling safeguards on its pricing and docs pages.
