Cursor

Cursor is a coding agent and AI-first code editor built by Anysphere, available as a desktop editor, a CLI, cloud agents and an iOS app. It imports VS Code settings, keybindings, themes and extensions in one click and shares VS Code's default shortcuts, though extensions come from the Open VSX registry rather than the VS Code Marketplace. On June 16, 2026, SpaceX announced a definitive agreement to acquire Anysphere for $60 billion in an all-stock transaction. The merger became effective on August 14, 2026, according to SpaceX's Form 8-K filing, and Anysphere, Inc. continues as a wholly owned subsidiary of SpaceX and remains the contracting entity in Cursor's terms of service. Cursor states that 64% of Fortune 500 companies use the product, that more than 50,000 enterprises build with it, and that over 100 million lines of enterprise code are written with it per day.

Cursor indexes entire repositories, reads across all files, and writes directly to the codebase. It documents eleven native integrations: GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps, Jira, Linear, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Notion, JetBrains and Xcode. Cursor also released its own Google Drive, Gmail and Google Calendar plugins for the Marketplace, and its Rollouts bot reads deploy signals from Datadog and other telemetry providers. A public Marketplace adds installable plugins, automations and skills, with a publish path for teams building their own. 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. Its only MCP server is the Origin MCP server, in early beta, which gives agents access to repositories and pull requests hosted on Origin. As of October 2026 it works only from Cursor and Grok Bot, and Cursor describes support for other agent harnesses as coming soon. The Cursor SDK and a Cloud Agents API let teams build programmatic agents deployable from CI/CD pipelines and internal tools.

All prices are USD. Since October 12, 2026, new customers buy Cursor through The X Subscription, one plan that also covers Grok and X Premium. Free costs nothing and has limited agent and chat requests. Plus at $8 a month gives the Cursor agent with Cursor models only (Grok 4.7, Grok 4.6, Grok 4.5 and Composer 2.5), with no cloud agents or third-party models. Premium at $30 adds cloud agents and automations, Origin code hosting, Bugbot code review and third-party models such as Claude and GPT, which are billed at API list price from prepaid credit rather than included. Super ($100) and Ultra ($200) raise the shared weekly usage pool to 15 and 50 times Plus. Annual billing is $80, $300, $1,000 and $2,000 a year for Plus, Premium, Super and Ultra. Teams seats cost $30, $100 or $200 per user per month, and Enterprise is quote only. Existing Pro, Pro+, Ultra and Teams Standard and Premium subscribers keep their legacy plans until they choose to switch.

Team features start at Teams: centralized billing, usage analytics, team-wide privacy settings, SAML/OIDC SSO, mixed seat types and the team marketplace for internal rules, skills and plugins. Invoice billing, SCIM seat management, granular spend controls, repository, model and MCP access controls, and audit logs are Enterprise only. HIPAA Business Associate Agreements and US-only data residency are Enterprise only too, and data residency adds a 10% uplift on model pricing for eligible models. Included usage is one weekly pool shared across Cursor, Grok Bot and the Grok apps, and on Teams and Enterprise third-party models cost API list price plus the Cursor Token Rate. Self-serve plans take cards.

Cursor suits engineering teams that want an AI-native editor as their primary environment and are comfortable with model inference running in Cursor's cloud. Teams wanting 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). Developers who want a terminal-first agent without an IDE layer should consider Claude Code (from $17/mo billed annually), and teams that want to stay inside GitHub's own tooling should consider GitHub Copilot (from $10/mo).

Current state Q4 2026: Projects entered beta on September 10, 2026, letting a coordinator agent plan a larger body of work, hand it to parallel cloud and local agents, and act on a Slack channel, a schedule or new pull requests without a prompt. On September 23, 2026 Cursor launched two bots for Teams and Enterprise: Rollouts, which watches each pull request as it deploys and reports its health per environment, and Security Review, which reports exploitable bugs on every pull request. Since October 6, 2026 the iOS app can view and reply to local agents running on a user's own computer. Origin, Cursor's own code hosting, entered early beta on all paid plans on August 17, 2026, with repos, pull requests, code browsing and GitHub sync. Self-Hosted Machines, shipped September 2, 2026, run Cloud Agent tool execution on hardware the customer manages, and Cloud Agents no longer require a connected source-control provider. Cursor's own models are Grok 4.7, which it calls its flagship, and Composer 2.5. They sit alongside Claude Opus 5.5, Claude Sonnet 5.5, Claude Haiku 5.5, Claude Fable 5.1, GPT-5.6 Sol, GPT-5.6 Terra, GPT-5.6 Luna, Gemini 3.1 Pro, Gemini 3.8 Flash and Meta's Muse Spark 1.3. Grok Bot is included from the Premium plan and carries its own terms. Security: Cursor holds ISO/IEC 27001:2022, ISO/IEC 42001:2023 and AIUC-1 certifications alongside a SOC 2 Type II attestation, with certificates available on request through its trust center. The enterprise page states compliance with the requirements of GDPR and CCPA, HIPAA Business Associate Agreements are available on the Enterprise plan, and Cursor maintains zero data retention agreements with its model providers.
