Cursor
Cursor is an AI coding agent and code editor that helps developers plan, write, debug, and review software across desktop, terminal, web, and chat surfaces.
What is Cursor?
Cursor is an AI-powered software development environment created by Anysphere. It operates as a desktop editor, command-line interface, cloud agent service, and web tool. The platform integrates autonomous coding agents capable of planning features, searching large codebases with Instant Grep, editing files across repositories, executing terminal commands, and reviewing pull requests. Cursor supports multiple underlying AI models from providers including OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, SpaceXAI, and Cursor's custom Composer models, allowing users to switch models per task and configure team-specific rules, skills, and Model Context Protocol connections.
