What is Cursor?

Cursor is an AI-native code editor built for agent-driven development. Its Composer agent completes multi-step tasks autonomously, while Tab delivers context-aware completions and the editor indexes your whole codebase for semantic search across files. Cursor supports multiple frontier models — OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, and xAI — and lets teams bring their own. Beyond the editor it adds cloud agents that build features in parallel, Bugbot for automated code review, a CLI for terminal workflows, and Slack and GitHub integrations. A free Hobby tier lets you try the agent and Tab with limited usage; the $20/month Individual plan extends agent limits and unlocks frontier models, cloud agents, and MCP/skills/hooks, with Teams and Enterprise tiers adding shared context, SSO, and access controls.
