Cursor

Cursor is an AI-first code editor built by Anysphere as a fork of VS Code, embedding AI at every layer of the coding workflow rather than bolting it on as a plugin. On June 16, 2026, SpaceX announced a definitive agreement to acquire Anysphere for $60 billion in an all-stock transaction. That acquisition had not closed as of this verification: Cursor's terms of service and its site footer both still name Anysphere, Inc. as the contracting entity, and no completion has been announced. Cursor states that 64% of the Fortune 500 use the product and that more than 50,000 enterprises build with it. Cursor indexes entire repositories, reads across all files, and writes directly to the codebase. It documents eleven first-party integrations: GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps, Jira, Linear, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Notion, JetBrains and Xcode. Cursor is an MCP client rather than an MCP server. It connects out to external MCP servers configured through mcp.json or the Customize page, and Teams administrators can distribute MCP servers across cloud agents, the IDE and the CLI through a team marketplace. The Cursor SDK allows teams to build programmatic agents deployable from CI/CD pipelines and internal tools. Cursor publishes no MCP server of its own, re-verified August 2026. All prices are USD. Hobby is free with no credit card, limited agent requests and limited tab completions. Individual is $16 per month billed annually or $20 month to month, with Pro, Pro+ and Ultra sub-tiers listed at $20, $60 and $200 month to month for progressively higher model limits. Teams is $32 per user per month billed annually or $40 month to month. Enterprise is quote only. The entry Individual tier does not buy centralized billing, team-wide privacy mode, SAML/OIDC SSO, usage analytics, agentic code review included at no extra charge, or the team marketplace for internal rules, skills and plugins. All of those start at Teams, and Bugbot runs on usage-based billing on Individual rather than being included. Repository, model and MCP access controls, SCIM seat management, audit logs, the AI code tracking API and pooled usage are Enterprise only. Expensive model usage depletes included credits faster than standard models, so heavy agent use can exhaust the monthly allowance before the billing cycle ends. Cursor is not suited to teams with strict data-residency requirements below Enterprise, because all AI requests route through Cursor's cloud infrastructure even when using your own API keys. Teams needing fully on-premise AI coding with local model hosting should look at Sourcegraph Cody (custom pricing), which supports air-gapped deployments. Teams invested in JetBrains IDEs can keep the native environment with JetBrains AI Assistant (from $8.33/mo billed annually, on top of an existing JetBrains license), although Cursor now ships a JetBrains integration of its own. For terminal-first, git-native workflows without an IDE layer, Claude Code (from $17/mo billed annually) offers deeper git integration. GitHub Copilot (from $10/mo) remains the tighter fit for teams that do not want to leave GitHub's own tooling. As of Q3 2026, Cursor is the leading standalone AI-first coding IDE. Version 3.9 (June 29, 2026) launched the Cursor iOS app in public beta on all paid plans, allowing developers to start and manage cloud agents from a phone. Version 3.8 (June 18, 2026) expanded Cursor Automations with new GitHub and Slack triggers. Version 3.7 (June 17, 2026) added cloud environment setup and cloud subagents that run on their own VMs and branches. Version 3.6 (May 29, 2026) introduced Auto-review Run Mode for longer autonomous runs with fewer approval prompts. Composer 2.5 (May 19, 2026) is Cursor's proprietary model, optimized for long-horizon agentic coding. Google Workspace Plugins shipped on August 3, 2026. Grok models are now sold alongside Anthropic and OpenAI models, and Cursor's data-use documentation names SpaceXAI, OpenAI and Anthropic as its model providers. Security: a SOC 2 Type II attestation report is available on request through Cursor's trust center. Cursor publishes no ISO 27001, GDPR or CCPA claim on its security, privacy, terms or trust-center surfaces, re-verified August 2026.
