AI code editor built on VS Code — agents that edit across your codebase, run in the cloud, review pull requests, and now host your repos.
Cursor is an AI-first code editor forked from VS Code, now built around agents rather than autocomplete alone. Tab still predicts your next edit, and inline chat still answers questions about selected code, but the centre of gravity is the agent: give it a task and it plans, edits across many files with full codebase context, and runs commands. Agents can run locally or in the cloud so work continues after you close the laptop, Bugbot reviews pull requests automatically, and MCP servers, skills, and hooks let you wire in your own tooling. Cursor Router picks a frontier model per task, and recent releases added an iOS and iPad app, a CLI, and Origin, Cursor's own code hosting with real-time GitHub sync. Because it is built on VS Code, existing extensions, themes, settings, and keybindings carry over.

Try CursorThere is a free Hobby tier with limited agent requests. Pro is $20/mo with extended limits, and Pro+ and Ultra scale those limits further from the same $20 base. Teams starts at $40 per user/mo, with Enterprise on custom pricing. No tier is truly unlimited — plans differ by agent request limits.
Yes — Cursor is built on VS Code, so all your extensions, themes, settings, and keybindings transfer seamlessly.
Cursor ships its own Composer model and offers frontier models from Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, and xAI. You can pick a model per task, or let Cursor Router choose one for you.
