Cursor

About

Cursor began as a VS Code fork with AI-assisted editing and has grown into a full agentic development platform used by individual developers and large engineering organizations. Its agents operate in several modes — inline edits, an interactive agent chat, and background cloud agents — and can run in parallel for hours or days, with Plan Mission Control giving oversight of long-running fleets. The platform supports multiple model providers configured per user, an in-IDE plugin marketplace, MCP integrations, and event-triggered Automations that execute in cloud sandboxes. The IDE itself is proprietary and distributed from cursor.com, with the public GitHub repository serving only as an issue tracker; revenue comes from subscription tiers for individuals and enterprises.
