Cursor

Cursor is an AI-powered code editor developed by Anysphere that transforms how developers write, refactor, and understand software. Built as a fork of VS Code, it integrates advanced AI capabilities directly into the editing workflow, offering intelligent tab completions, agent-driven multi-file editing, and deep codebase understanding through semantic search and indexing. The editor is designed to make developers extraordinarily productive by combining the familiarity of a standard IDE with cutting-edge AI assistance.

Key Features

• Autonomous Agents: Cursor agents can plan and build features end to end, running on cloud infrastructure so you can assign tasks and review results while continuing other work. Agents use their own computing resources to build, test, and demo features for your review.
• Composer 2.5: A multi-file editing environment that understands your entire project context, generating coordinated changes across multiple files in a single request. Composer supports both Build and Plan modes, letting you choose how autonomous the agent should be.
• Tab Autocomplete: A specialized autocomplete model predicts your next action with high accuracy and speed, completing code inline as you type. The Tab model is optimized for low latency and context-awareness.
• Multi-Model Support: Choose from leading AI models including GPT-5.5, Opus 4.8, Gemini 3.1 Pro, Grok 4.3, and Cursor proprietary models. Each model can be selected per-task to match the right capability to the job.
• Codebase Indexing: Semantic search and intelligent code navigation let agents and completions reason about your entire project structure, regardless of scale. Cursor securely indexes your codebase to provide accurate, context-aware suggestions.
• CLI Integration: A command-line interface allows developers to use Cursor agents directly from the terminal, enabling AI-assisted coding without leaving the shell.
• Code Review: An automated review system that catches bugs and suggests improvements directly in your pull requests, integrating with GitHub workflows.
• Slack Integration: Cursor can collaborate with teams directly in Slack channels, responding to requests, making changes, and posting results without switching context.

Enterprise and Security

Cursor is SOC 2 certified and trusted by over half of the Fortune 500. Enterprise features include organization management, privacy controls, and configurable data handling policies. The platform supports team onboarding, role-based access, and centralized billing. Security features include codebase indexing with privacy modes, where code is never stored or used for training.

Platform Availability

Cursor is available as a desktop application on macOS, Windows, and Linux. Cloud agents run on Cursor infrastructure, requiring no local compute resources. The CLI can be installed on any system with a standard shell via a single curl command. A free tier is available with limited usage, while paid plans unlock additional agent runs, premium model access, priority processing, and enterprise administration capabilities.
