Cursor — The Cyber Toolchain

Cursor Origin Code Hosting

Tue, 18 Aug 2026 08:54:40 GMT

Cursor launches Origin Code Hosting in early beta: repos, pull requests, GitHub sync, and app integrations at cursor.com/. • GitHub sync lets you connect a GitHub org and pull selected repos into Origin alongside Cursor-hosted ones; synced repos update in real time, pushes continue to GitHub as source of truth, and access mirrors existing GitHub read/write permissions. • Pull requests are available on every repo with a timeline, commits, checks, and file diffs; comments and reactions sync bidirectionally with GitHub within seconds, and GitHub-assigned reviews can be completed and merged from Cursor. • Agent integration in every repo lets you ask Cursor questions about browsed code, request changes, update PRs, or push branches from within the same interface. • Apps tab per repo supports Vercel integration (auto-provisions a preview deployment for every PR), Depot (runs existing GitHub Actions workflows), and Buildkite (runs GitHub Actions workflows and native Buildkite pipelines). • Settings per repo expose GitHub sync status, access management, and connected app visibility. • Origin is available in early beta on all paid plans (excluding enterprise orgs whose admins opt out).

Cursor Cloud Agents Start 3x Faster with Builds

Fri, 14 Aug 2026 09:21:29 GMT

Cursor Cloud Agents now boot 3x faster with pre-built environments that survive broken commits. • Introduces Builds for Cloud Agents: pre-baked copies of your development environment (repos cloned, dependencies installed, install script run) that agents boot into instead of setting up from scratch each session. • Adds a `Builds` tab in the Cloud Agents dashboard where you can inspect build status, logs, commit SHAs, and which build each agent run used. • Enables automatic fallback to the last successful build when a bad commit or dependency update breaks the environment, keeping agents operational while you debug. • Supports manually triggering a build and debugging a failing build with an agent directly from the Cloud Agents dashboard. • Adds a configurable threshold to control how stale builds are refreshed. • Agents can inspect and manage builds using built-in tools. • Builds are included with Cloud Agents at no additional cost, delivering 10x faster internal environment boot and 3x faster time to first token.

Cursor Cursor Router

Thu, 23 Jul 2026 15:48:44 GMT

Cursor Router brings intelligent per-request model routing to Auto mode with Cost/Balance/Intelligence optimization modes and admin controls. • Introduces Cursor Router: an intelligent model router that classifies each request by task type and complexity and dispatches it to the appropriate model automatically. • Adds three optimization modes under Auto — Cost, Balance, and Intelligence — letting users trade off token spend against model capability on a per-session basis. • Adds admin controls to enable Cursor Router per team or group, restrict which optimization modes members can use, set the default mode, and maintain model allow/block lists. • Supports toggling visibility of the routed model (hidden by default), giving teams the option to surface which model handled each request. • Adds soft and hard enforcement options so admins can standardize users on Auto mode. • Adds Grok 4.5 as an available price-efficient routing option within the router. • Cursor Router is available across desktop, web, iOS, CLI, and the SDK; enabled by default on Teams plans, and configurable for Enterprise from the dashboard.

Cursor Improvements to Cursor in Slack

Sat, 18 Jul 2026 14:44:18 GMT

Cursor adds side chats, agent transcript search, new cloud agent hooks, and redesigned project/repo pickers. • New Side Chats: open parallel agent conversations via `/side`, `/btw`, or the plus button without interrupting the main agent thread — each is a durable, full agent conversation that can be revisited and @-mentioned. • Adds agent transcript search in the Agents Window via Cmd+K (command palette), with a local search index that scales to thousands of conversations. • Adds in-conversation search with Cmd+F, match counter, and jump-between-matches for long agent transcripts. • New cloud agent hooks (`beforeSubmitPrompt`, `afterAgentResponse`, `afterAgentThought`, `stop`, `subagentStart`, and more) enable observing and controlling prompts, responses, reasoning, subagents, compaction, and turn completion. • Redesigned project and repo pickers support creating a project and connecting GitHub, GitLab, or Azure DevOps without leaving the picker. • New 'Run on' picker surfaces where an agent can execute — Cloud, This Computer, or Remote Machines — in a single unified selector. • Adds a Select Multiple toggle inside Cloud and This Computer flyouts for multi-repo and multi-root selection, replacing the separate Set Up Workspace builder. • Combines remote machines, team pools, and remote workspaces into one searchable Remote Machines menu. • Branch picker now opens on the default branch and recently used branches instead of a flat list.

Cursor Cloud Environment Setup and Cloud Subagents in Agents Window

Mon, 29 Jun 2026 22:54:13 GMT

Cursor adds cloud dev environment snapshots and /in-cloud subagents for parallel, isolated agent work in the Agents Window. • New cloud environment setup: Cursor agents can now provision a cloud dev environment in under 10 minutes, installing dependencies in a shared terminal session and capturing the result in a reusable snapshot that speeds up all future cloud agent starts. • Supports team-shared environment config via `.cursor/environment.json`, so cloud environment snapshots benefit the entire team when committed to the repo. • New `/in-cloud` slash command spins up a cloud subagent in its own VM and branch, isolating long-running or parallel tasks (CI work, issue investigation, codebase exploration) without affecting the local workspace. • New `/babysit` command (also accessible via quick-action pill) lets a cloud subagent iterate remotely on a PR to prepare it for merge without tying up the local agent session. • Cloud subagents run in the background independently of the parent agent, which can continue running locally or in the cloud simultaneously. • New local-to-cloud handoff: agent sessions can be moved between local and cloud reliably, letting users offload long-running work or pull cloud agents back to local for manual testing.
