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 AI workspace for building and governing agents
Create agents on a drag-and-drop workflow canvas, by describing them in chat, or through code and a CLI.
Connect tools like Slack, GitHub, Notion, Salesforce, and Stripe, and pick from every major model provider.
Ground agents in synced sources and manage structured Tables, Files, and artifacts in one workspace.
Enforce permission groups, spend limits, audit records, data retention, and SSO/SCIM from a central console.
