Cursor is a coding agent and editor that helps you understand a codebase, plan and build features, fix bugs and review changes. It combines a desktop editor with a command-line agent and cloud agents that take on implementation work while you keep the decisions.
The agent reads files, searches the repo and edits code, then shows you the diff to check. The same agent is reachable from the desktop app, a terminal, Slack, and pull requests in GitHub, and Cursor connects to the tools teams already use for source control, tickets and messaging.

What Cursor does
Desktop editor with an agent
Cursor Desktop keeps manual editing and agent-driven work in one editor. You can ask for a plan or a build with ⌘K, and the agent reads files, searches for the right code and edits before you review the result.
Cloud agents that run in parallel
Agents use their own computers to build, test and demo features end to end, then hand back a summary for you to review. Several tasks can run at the same time, and you can follow them from the web or a mobile agent.
Command-line agent
The CLI installs with a single curl command and runs agents in any terminal, script or editor. It shows its steps as it thinks, reads files and searches the codebase.
Reviews and pull requests
Premium and higher tiers add AI code reviews through Bugbot and code hosting through Origin. Cursor also reviews pull requests in GitHub, so problems are caught before a merge.
Fits your existing toolchain
Integrations cover GitHub, GitLab, Azure DevOps, Bitbucket, JetBrains, Slack, Linear, Notion, Jira, Microsoft Teams, Xcode and Tailscale. In Slack the agent can pick up a request from a channel and open a pull request.
Customization and team rules
Plugins, rules, skills, subagents, hooks and MCP servers are managed from one place. Teams get a marketplace for internal rules, skills and plugins so everyone works from the same conventions.
How to use Cursor
- 1Download Cursor for macOS, or install the CLI with the curl command if you prefer the terminal.
- 2Open your project so the agent can read and index the codebase.
- 3Describe the task and use Plan Mode to scope the change before any code is edited.
- 4Let the agent edit files, run checks and show the diff for review.
- 5Hand larger or parallel tasks to a cloud agent, or connect the agent to Slack, Jira, Linear or GitHub.
Popular for
Developers delegating implementation
Hand off a scoped task, such as adding a feature or fixing a parser, and spend the time on direction and review instead of typing the first draft.
Teams reviewing changes
Use AI code reviews and PR checks to inspect diffs and catch issues before merging, with review routing and approval for larger groups.
Teams working in chat and issue trackers
Ask the agent from Slack, Jira, Linear or Notion, so a request raised in a team channel can turn into a branch and a pull request without switching tools.
Organizations with admin needs
Teams and Enterprise add centralized billing, usage analytics, privacy settings, custom chat data retention and SSO for larger engineering organizations.
