PRODUCT OVERVIEW

What is Cursor?

Cursor is an applied research team's coding agent for building ambitious software. It combines a familiar desktop editor with agentic workflows: agents read your codebase, plan changes, run terminal commands, search the web, and edit files, while Plan, Design, and Debug modes support scoping, visual UI edits, and root-cause fixes. Cloud agents run in parallel on their own computers, and Cursor also works through a CLI, browser, mobile, Slack, GitHub, and other integrations. Teams can add rules, skills, plugins, and MCP connections, and use Bugbot for AI code reviews. Access starts with a free tier with limited AI usage, and paid individual, team, and enterprise plans add larger shared usage pools, cloud agents, code hosting, and third-party models at API list price.
