Cursor

Origin Code Hosting commercial

Cursor is an AI-powered code editor built on VS Code that helps developers write, edit, and debug code faster using artificial intelligence.

Summary

Cursor is a commercial desktop application for AI-assisted software development, built around an editor where developers describe tasks in plain language and agents write, run, and test code on their behalf. It targets application developers and teams who want agent-driven coding folded into their existing workflow rather than a standalone chat assistant, and it extends beyond the desktop with an iOS app for launching and monitoring always-on cloud agents, handing sessions between laptop and phone, and reviewing or merging pull requests remotely. Teams can share configuration through a marketplace of plugins, skills, and MCPs, and automations can be triggered from Slack or GitHub events, putting it closer to a development platform than a simple code completion tool. Cursor sits in the ai-coding-agents category, and with 21 releases tracked and the latest just over a month old, it is under active development.

How Cursor helps

Which agent finished, needs my input, or is ready for me to review right now?

surfaces live status through push notifications and lock-screen activity, so a session started on the desktop can be checked from the phone without opening the app

Where did I discuss this decision three weeks ago, and what did the agent conclude?

builds a local search index over past agent conversations so a phrase or topic can be found across thousands of transcripts, not just by name or PR number

Can I sanity-check an alternative approach without derailing the agent already working on my task?

opens a side conversation that inherits the main thread's context but defaults to reading and answering rather than acting, so exploration doesn't commit the running agent to a pivot

Which plugins, skills, and MCPs is my team actually using, and are we all on the same ones?

a team marketplace leaderboard ranks what's installed across teammates and lets a lagging setup adopt the same one with a single install

Is a long-running fix or investigation blocking me from continuing my own work?

spins up a cloud subagent on its own VM and branch to run the task in the background while the local or cloud parent session keeps going independently

Will every teammate's cloud agent start from the same environment instead of drifting?

reads a committed environment definition from the repo to rebuild the same snapshot for each cloud agent start, so a config change is shared the moment it's committed

Usage Page $$ to Token Amount? WHAT?

forum.cursor.com · 20 messages · community

The thread discusses Cursor's decision to replace dollar amounts with token counts on the Usage page for individual and Teams plans, a change that removes per-request cost visibility from the dashboard and standard API endpoints. Maintainers confirmed this is an intentional design shift to clarify included versus on-demand usage, noting that Enterprise plans retain dollar views while self-serve plans now rely on token metrics. Readers should expect to find billing totals in the Spending section or use the Admin API for detailed per-request cost data, as the previous dashboard columns and standard API fields no longer return dollar values.

Confirmed in the thread On Cursor's web dashboard, the Usage page now shows token counts instead of dollar costs for individual and self-serve Team plans; only Enterprise plans still show dollar amounts on that page, and the Usage CSV export no longer contains cost figures for self-serve plans.

Applies to
Cursor web dashboard Usage page, individual and self-serve Team plans (Enterprise plans unaffected)
What to do
To see dollar costs on an individual or self-serve Team plan, check Dashboard > Spending for the On-Demand Spending total for the current cycle; Teams admins can use Dashboard > Members > On-Demand for per-user totals, or the Admin API for cost fields per usage event.
Careful
This removes per-request and per-model dollar cost visibility for individual and self-serve Team plans, making day-to-day budget and model-cost tracking harder than before.
From the thread · checked Oct 2026
There isn’t currently a setting to switch back to dollar amounts for individual plans.
Enterprise Plans will still show dollar amounts here, but individual plans will not.
Dashboard > Spending shows an On-Demand Spending figure for your current cycle.

Set editor as default window

forum.cursor.com · 20 messages · community

Users reported that recent Cursor updates force the Agents view as the default startup window, causing frustration and workflow issues. A maintainer confirmed the issue and introduced a toggle in version 3.3.30 to disable this behavior, though it requires a full app restart to take effect. For terminal launches, the --classic flag remains necessary to bypass the Agents window entirely.

Shipped in 3.3.30 In Cursor, turning off the "Open Agents Window on startup" toggle in Settings > Agents makes the Editor window open by default when you launch the app from the dock or app icon.

Applies to
Cursor desktop app (Mac and Windows), toggle added in version 3.3.30, rolling out gradually
What to do
Update Cursor to 3.3.30 or later, then go to Settings > Agents and turn off "Open Agents Window on startup". You may need to fully quit the app (not just switch windows) before the change takes effect.
Careful
The toggle only affects launching from the dock/app icon. Running cursor . from the terminal still opens the Agents window regardless of the toggle; use cursor . --classic instead. The toggle rollout to Windows was reported as delayed.
From the thread · checked Oct 2026
version 3.3.30 adds a new “Open Agents Window on startup” toggle in Cursor Settings > Agents
Turn it off to launch into the Editor by default.
cursor . from terminal currently uses a separate path and opens the Agents Window regardless of the toggle.

Prettier extension fails with "cannot format [filetype]-files" error on all file types

forum.cursor.com · 20 messages · community

The thread discusses a bug where the Prettier extension fails to format files in Cursor due to an Extension API incompatibility, despite working in VS Code. A maintainer confirmed this is a known limitation of Cursor's API support rather than a Prettier fault, and later updates indicated that fixes were rolled out in Cursor versions 2.4 and 2.4.22. Readers should expect the issue to be resolved in recent Cursor updates; if it persists, downgrading Prettier to v11 or using TypeScript's built-in formatter as a temporary workaround is recommended.

Confirmed in the thread When the Prettier extension (esbenp.prettier-vscode) version 12.x is set as the default formatter in Cursor, it throws "cannot format '[filetype]'-files" errors and stops formatting on save or on manual format commands, caused by a Cursor extension-API incompatibility with VS Code's.

Applies to
Cursor IDE, Windows and macOS, Prettier VS Code extension (esbenp.prettier-vscode) version 12.1.0 used as default formatter via .vscode/settings.json and .prettierrc
What to do
Downgrade the Prettier extension (esbenp.prettier-vscode) from version 12.x to version 11.0.2 to restore formatting until Cursor's extension-API gap is fixed.
Careful
This is a version-downgrade workaround, not a fix; it reverts the extension to an older release and the underlying Cursor extension-API incompatibility remains unresolved.
From the thread · checked Oct 2026
quick fix as of now is to downgrade the prettier from v12 to v11.
its related new Prettier version i downgrade v12 to v11 its works.
This is an issue with Cursor not supporting the same Extension API as VSCode.

Custom Modes missing in Cursor 2.1.0 (VSCode 1.105.1)

forum.cursor.com · 20 messages · community

The thread discusses the removal of Custom Modes in Cursor 2.1.0, which caused significant user frustration as these features were critical for managing system prompts and tool access. It was determined that Custom Modes are being replaced by the Commands feature, allowing users to export their existing configurations and create new ones with greater flexibility. Readers should migrate their custom instructions to Commands via the Cursor Docs to restore similar functionality.

Shipped in 2.1.0 Custom Modes (including per-mode system prompts, tool access restrictions, and model assignment) were removed from Cursor IDE starting in version 2.1.0.

Applies to
Cursor IDE, Custom Modes feature, version 2.1.0 (VSCode 1.105.1 base), reported on Windows 10/11
What to do
If you used Custom Modes only for reusable system prompts, move that text into the new Commands feature, which is not capped at five. Export any existing Custom Modes first since they will be gone. Understand that Commands only cover the prompt text; there is no current way to restrict which tools or model a given Command can use.
Careful
This removal strips capability: per-mode tool restrictions and per-mode model assignment are gone, and there is no settings toggle to bring back the old Custom Modes behavior.
From the thread · checked Oct 2026
After updating to Cursor 2.1.0 (running on VSCode 1.105.1), all Custom Modes have disappeared.
Custom modes are being removed in 2.1. In case you need the details from custom mode there is an option to export them.
The system prompt or Custom Instruction as it was called in Custom Modes is essentially a /command that you can still create

Co-author added without consent and can't be turned off!?

forum.cursor.com · 20 messages · community

Users reported that Cursor automatically added itself as a co-author to git commits without consent, causing frustration over privacy and workflow disruption. The issue was resolved by disabling the Attribution toggle in Cursor Settings under Agents, which prevents future automatic additions. Readers should check this setting if they prefer clean commit histories without AI attribution.

Confirmed in the thread Cursor IDE automatically inserts a "Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>" trailer into git commits. A setting exists to turn this off, but it only covers the IDE's own commit flow, not the CLI, cloud agents, or the "Generate git commit message" button.

Applies to
Cursor IDE, macOS, version 2.4.21 (git commit attribution feature)
What to do
Open Cursor Settings > Agents > Attribution and toggle the co-author attribution off. If you also commit via the CLI, cloud agents, or the Generate Commit Message button, add a prepare-commit-msg git hook that strips any line containing the cursoragent@cursor.com address, since the UI toggle does not reach those paths.
Careful
Turning this off removes any built-in trace of AI-authored changes in your git history, so you lose the attribution signal the feature was meant to provide; also remember the hook workaround must be reapplied on fresh clones since .git/hooks is not version controlled.
From the thread · checked Oct 2026
You can turn this off in Cursor settings. Go to Cursor Settings > Agents > Attribution and just toggle it off.
You can only disable this in the IDE, but there’s no setting to disable this in the CLI, in Cursor cloud agents, or when using the “Generate git commit message” button.
Thank god there’s a way to run this off.

Compatibility with DeepSeek model's design to return reasoning content after tool calls?

forum.cursor.com · 20 messages · community

The thread discusses Cursor's failure to support DeepSeek V4's requirement to return reasoning_content after tool calls, which causes API errors in multi-turn conversations. A community member validated a proxy workaround that fixes this by relaying the required field, while maintainers acknowledged the feedback but confirmed no active development on native BYOK support for this model. Readers should expect Cursor to currently lack native compatibility and may use the shared proxy solution as a temporary fix.

Unconfirmed In Cursor, using DeepSeek V4 (pro/flash) models in thinking mode with multi-turn tool calls fails because Cursor does not pass the model's reasoning_content back to the DeepSeek API on follow-up requests, producing a provider error.

Applies to
Cursor IDE, BYOK DeepSeek V4 pro/flash models, thinking/reasoning mode, multi-turn tool calls; reported on macOS with Cursor version 3.2.11
What to do
If you hit the reasoning_content error with DeepSeek V4 in Cursor, know this is a known unresolved gap; a community member published an external proxy tool (deepseek-cursor-proxy) as a workaround, but Cursor staff say official BYOK support for DeepSeek is not currently being worked on.
Careful
The workaround relies on a third-party proxy outside Cursor's official support, and no one in the thread confirms it fully resolved the issue in their own use.
From the thread · checked Oct 2026
DeepSeek’s API requires the reasoning_content from the previous response to be included unmodified in subsequent requests.
Cursor’s agent loop does not preserve/relay this field, causing all follow-up requests to fail.
BYOK with Deepseek isn’t something we’re actively working on right now, but I’ve passed along the feedback to our team!

Git hooks silently skipped for all Source Control operations since 3.15.6 — git extension forces `core.hooksPath=/dev/null`

forum.cursor.com · 20 messages · community

Cursor's integrated Git extension incorrectly forces core.hooksPath to a null device, causing all Source Control commits to silently skip pre-commit and other hooks. This behavior was confirmed across macOS and Windows by multiple users who identified the root cause in the bundled git extension code. Readers should expect this bug to persist until a fix is released; in the meantime, use the integrated terminal for commits to ensure hooks run correctly.

Confirmed in the thread In Cursor IDE, committing via the Source Control panel silently skips all git hooks (pre-commit, commit-msg, Husky, etc.) because the bundled git extension injects core.hooksPath=/dev/null (or \\.\nul on Windows) into every git subprocess it spawns, including user-initiated commits. Committing the same staged changes from the integrated terminal runs hooks correctly.

Applies to
Cursor IDE bundled git extension, Source Control panel commits, versions 3.15.6 through at least 3.17.21, reproduced on macOS, Windows, and Linux/WSL2
What to do
Do not rely on the Source Control panel's commit button to enforce git hooks (linting, formatting, secret scanning, commit-message checks). Commit from the integrated terminal with git commit instead, where hooks still run normally, until Cursor ships a fix.
Careful
Using the Source Control panel's commit button silently disables all git hooks with no warning and no --no-verify flag shown, so any policy enforced by hooks (secret scanning, formatting, generated-file checks) is bypassed without the user knowing.

Run and Debug controls missing from Run and Debug panel in 2.6.20

forum.cursor.com · 20 messages · community

The Run and Debug controls disappear in version 2.6.20 when the activity bar orientation is set to vertical, though they remain visible in horizontal mode or if other debug panels are hidden. The issue was confirmed as a regression linked to sidebar handling with disabled title bars. To work around this, use the command palette to select Debug: Select and Start Debugging or switch the activity bar orientation back to horizontal.

Confirmed in the thread In Cursor IDE version 2.6.20, when the setting workbench.activityBar.orientation is set to vertical, the Run and Debug panel loses its play button and configuration dropdown. Switching the setting to horizontal, or downgrading to 2.6.19, restores them.

Applies to
Cursor IDE 2.6.20, Linux and macOS, with workbench.activityBar.orientation set to vertical
What to do
If the Run and Debug play button and configuration dropdown vanish after updating to 2.6.20, change workbench.activityBar.orientation to horizontal in Settings, or downgrade to Cursor 2.6.19 until the team ships a fix. As a temporary workaround you can also start debugging via the command palette with Debug: Select and Start Debugging.
From the thread · checked Oct 2026
The run and debug play button/configuration dropdown are missing in 2.6.20. Downgrading to 2.6.19 resolves.
Can confirm that it became invisible in vertical , but in horizontal it is there.
After checkin, the issue happened if I use this setting "workbench.activityBar.orientation": "vertical"
