Cursor is an AI coding agent and code editor that understands codebases, writes and reviews code, runs commands and tests, and supports cloud agents, CLI workflows, MCP tools, and team automation.
Cursor is an AI-native software development platform designed to help developers understand codebases, plan changes, build features, debug issues, review code, and automate engineering work. Its agent can search repositories, edit multiple files, run terminal commands, execute tests, and work with supported frontier AI models within a developer-focused environment.
Cursor extends beyond the desktop editor through Cloud Agents, terminal-based agents, web access, mobile workflows, MCP integrations, skills, hooks, plugins, and development-tool integrations. Cloud Agents run in isolated environments where they can clone repositories, install dependencies, execute code, test changes, and create pull requests while developers continue working elsewhere.
Agentic Coding - Handles complex development tasks across multiple files and tools.
Codebase Understanding - Searches repositories and reasons across project structure and source code.
Code Generation & Editing - Builds features, modifies existing implementations, and performs multi-file changes.
Terminal Execution - Runs commands, development tools, scripts, builds, and tests.
Cloud Agents - Executes longer-running development tasks in isolated cloud environments.
Parallel Development - Allows multiple agents to work across separate engineering tasks.
Plan & Ask Modes - Supports planning, read-only exploration, and autonomous execution.
Cursor CLI - Runs Cursor agents directly from terminals, scripts, and CI workflows.
MCP Support - Connects external tools, APIs, databases, and services through Model Context Protocol.
Skills & Hooks - Extends agent behavior with reusable instructions and workflow automation.
Bugbot - Provides agentic code-review capabilities.
Frontier Model Access - Supports models from multiple AI providers alongside Cursor models.

Cursor uses both subscription allowances and usage-based billing. Paid plans include model usage allowances, while on-demand usage can continue after included usage is consumed. Cursor supports annual billing with a 20% saving, and listed prices exclude applicable taxes. Team plans use separate Cursor Models and third-party model usage pools. Teams Premium provides five times Standard usage, while Enterprise supports pooled usage across users.
For developers exploring Cursor’s core agentic coding capabilities without a paid subscription.
For individual developers who want higher Agent limits, frontier models, cloud agents, and advanced Cursor development tools.
For daily agent users who need substantially higher Cursor Agent capacity and increased Grok Bot usage.
For intensive agent users who need Cursor’s highest individual Agent limits and priority access to new capabilities.
