Cursor (Anysphere)

4.6(310 G2 reviews)San Francisco, USAFounded 2022

Cursor is an agentic coding platform for enterprises building ambitious software. With access to frontier models, developers can focus on higher-level direction, while agents drive implementation and code review. Used by 64% of Fortune 500 companies, Cursor accelerates software development without compromising quality, control, or security. Key Features and Functionality: - Agentic development workflows: Cursor helps developers delegate coding tasks to agents while staying in control of direction, review, and iteration. Teams can use Cursor across desktop, CLI, web, and mobile for a consistent workflow wherever they work. - Cloud Agents: Cursor supports cloud-based agents for longer-running and more scalable development tasks. Recent Cloud Agents API updates added durable agents, run-scoped follow-ups, streaming, cancellation, and clearer lifecycle controls for managing agent work in the cloud. - Code review and parallel execution: Recent releases introduced a new PR review experience with inline review threads, commit history, and a file-tree changes picker, along with support for building in parallel and splitting work into reviewable PRs automatically. - Next-action prediction: Cursor Tab provides fast, context-aware code completion that predicts the next action, suggests multi-line edits, and helps developers move through routine coding tasks with less manual effort. - Context visibility and control: Context Usage Breakdown gives developers visibility into how agent context is spent across rules, skills, MCPs, and subagents, making it easier to diagnose issues and improve setup quality. - Enterprise admin controls and analytics: Cursor includes more granular model access controls, updated spend management with soft limits and intelligent alerts, and usage analytics that can be filtered by user and broken down by product surface. - Security Review: Cursor Security Review adds always-on security agents for PR review and codebase scanning. These agents can identify vulnerabilities, auth regressions, privacy and data-handling risks, outdated dependencies, and configuration issues, while integrating with existing security tooling. - Custom extensions and team distribution: Team Marketplace makes it easier for organizations to distribute and manage plugins that bundle MCP servers, skills, subagents, rules, and hooks, helping standardize how teams extend Cursor. - Programmable automation with the Cursor SDK: Cursor SDK enables teams to build programmatic agents with the same runtime, harness, and models that power Cursor, extending agent workflows beyond the IDE into custom automations and internal tools. Primary Value and User Solutions: Cursor helps engineering organizations accelerate software development without compromising quality, control, or security. It gives developers a faster way to write, review, and improve code, while giving platform and engineering leaders the visibility and governance they need to manage usage at scale. By combining agentic development, cloud execution, enterprise controls, extensibility, and built-in security capabilities, Cursor supports teams that want to ship ambitious software more efficiently and with greater confidence.
