The AI coding agent for building ambitious software
An agentic mode that plans changes, edits several files at once, runs tests, and iterates until the task is complete.
Background agents spin up their own environments to build, test, and demo features in parallel, then hand back results for review.
Fast inline suggestions plus codebase-wide semantic search and indexing so answers reflect your actual repository.
Switch between leading frontier models from multiple providers, or let Cursor select a model automatically for each task.
Web search API and crawler built for AI agents
Run natural-language or keyword queries against a large independent web index with filters for domain, date and category.
Return cleaned page text and AI-extracted highlights so agents receive the most relevant excerpts instead of entire pages.
Choose fast, balanced or deep search modes so an assistant can answer instantly or run longer grounded research.
Extract structured outputs such as company details, people and other entities for list building and data pipelines.
Provides powerful parallel AI coding agents via a desktop command center, but is less integrated into a traditional editor.
