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.

Open-source, self-hosted AI coding agent that codes like you
A task-driven agent that plans work, searches your repository for context and executes changes step by step, connecting to GitHub, databases and CI/CD.
In-IDE chat for asking, editing, debugging and generating code in natural language, plus fast multi-line autocompletion powered by RAG over your project.
Deploy on-premise or run the open-source version to keep your code private and fully under your own control.
Pick from leading LLMs or bring your own API key, and fine-tune the agent on your company's coding style and stack.
