About Cursor
Cursor works in the editor, terminal and cloud. Agents use project context to make changes, run tools and prepare results for review. Developers can choose models, connect tools through MCP, and delegate work to cloud agents.
Main features
- Explore a codebase, plan a change and edit project files.
- Run development tools and tests with Agent.
- Use Tab completions and focused code edits in the editor.
- Delegate tasks to cloud agents.
- Review GitHub pull requests with Bugbot.
- Connect external tools through MCP, skills and hooks.

Pricing and plans
Monthly USD prices: Pro USD 20, Pro+ USD 60, Ultra USD 200; Teams Standard USD 40/user/month and Premium USD 120/user/month. Enterprise is custom priced. These USD prices exclude applicable taxes. The India-only Start plan is INR 649/month, tax inclusive. Usage pools reset monthly; model choice affects consumption, and on-demand usage can add cost.

Cursor is distributed under its service license.
Data and privacy
Inputs and suggestions are not used for model training except security review, feedback you submit, or explicit agreement. Privacy Mode adds model-provider controls; AI requests still use Cursor’s backend.
Frequently asked questions
Can I try Cursor for free?
Yes. Hobby includes core features with limited Agent, Chat and Tab usage.
Does Pro mean unlimited use of every model?
No. Included model usage depends on the pool and model; additional usage may be billed separately.
Can Cursor work on my existing project?
Yes. Open the repository and give Agent a task; it can inspect files, edit code and run project tools.
What does Privacy Mode change?
With Privacy Mode enabled, your data is not used for training, and technical and contractual protections apply to model providers.
Does it work outside the desktop editor?
Yes. You can use CLI, web cloud agents and iOS; feature access depends on your plan.

Apps, integrations and development
Launch and manage cloud work
Cloud Agents API v1 is in public beta. It creates a durable agent, then schedules individual runs for prompts against a repository.
Webhook version boundary
Webhooks are not yet available in v1. Existing webhook integrations must use the legacy v0 surface until v1 support is released.
API rate limits
The default API limit is 20 requests per minute unless an endpoint defines another limit. Team, analytics and organization APIs have endpoint-specific allowances.
Bring project tools into Agent
Cursor connects to external MCP servers using local stdio, SSE or Streamable HTTP. It can consume tools, prompts, resources and interactive MCP app views.
Per-project and personal connections
Configure project tools in .cursor/mcp.json or shared user tools in ~/.cursor/mcp.json. Remote servers can use OAuth; local commands use configured environment credentials.
Protocols
REST endpoints and streaming run events.
Authentication
Basic or Bearer API-key authentication, including service-account keys.
API operations
Create and manage agents and runs; stream events, cancel work and download artifacts.
Request limits
API image input has a 15 MB limit; web attachments follow separate limits.
Retries
Use increasing delays for HTTP 429 and spread requests over time.
API versions
v1 is a public beta; v0 remains documented as a legacy interface.
Ownership and deployment
Keep your project files
Work stays in normal project source files and Git changes. Review, commit and move those files through your existing repository workflow.
Product open source status
Cursor is a licensed service and client; project source generated with it remains separate.
Export scope
Project source, Git changes and pull requests.
Privacy and organization controls
Control tool execution
MCP tools request approval by default. Enterprise administrators can restrict servers, tools and network destinations; distribution and permission approval are separate controls.
Privacy Mode
Privacy Mode is available in settings to free and paid users. Team members inherit the team setting, and model-provider protections apply when it is enabled.
Account deletion
Delete your account from the Settings dashboard. Support is available at hi@cursor.com for deletion assistance.
Model training
Inputs and suggestions are not used for training, with exceptions for security review, explicit feedback or training agreement.
Processing providers
Subprocessor information is published in the trust portal.
Security documents
Certification and attestation documents can be requested through the trust portal.
Export, migration and alternatives
Project and extension portability
Existing project files remain usable outside Cursor. Extension availability still needs checking: some Microsoft-only extensions use audited Anysphere alternatives.
Export exit options
Source files and Git history stay portable across development tools.
