The AI coding agent that turns ideas into shipped software
Hand off a task in plain language and agents plan it, edit across multiple files, run commands, and report back what changed.
Launch several agents at once in hosted environments so long-running work continues in the background while you focus elsewhere.
Choose between models from multiple leading providers per task, balancing reasoning depth, speed, and cost as needed.
Cursor runs as a desktop IDE, in the terminal via CLI, and inside Slack and GitHub so agents review pull requests in existing workflows.

Attack-led AI security testing and red teaming
Agent-native reconnaissance maps models, agents, tools, instructions, permissions and behaviours the way an attacker would before launching attacks.
Continuous, adaptive testing of AI agents and systems against evolving attack techniques, rather than one-off audits.
Findings are backed by a knowledge base built from more than 175 publicly disclosed AI vulnerabilities across major AI systems.
Runtime protections and remediation guidance help close defensive gaps and verify that fixes actually hold.
