Remote control for local agents

October 6, 2026

You can now see and reply to the local agents running on your computer from the Cursor iOS app. Get started Remote Control is on by default for everyone except Enterprise organizations. Download the Cursor iOS app and sign in. Computers on your account appear in the app automatically. Tap your computer in the app and approve your pairing request in the Cursor desktop app. Your local agents appear in a list. Tap one to see what it's doing or send it a message. Remote Control for local agents in the Cursor iOS app Agents keep running on your computer Remote control doesn't move your agents anywhere. It keeps running on your computer, and the app connects to it. Your computer needs to stay on and online for remote control to work. Keep your computer awake To stop your computer from sleeping while you're away, turn on "Keep this computer awake" under Remote Control in Cursor's desktop settings. Your computer needs to be plugged in with the lid open. For Enterprise teams Remote control is on by default, except for Enterprise organizations. Enterprise admins can turn it on in Org settings > Security and identity > Remote control. Remote control doesn't require cloud agents to work. Remot

Rollouts and Security Review

September 23, 2026

Today we're launching two Cursor bots for the last mile of shipping code. Rollouts watches every change as it deploys and reports its health per environment. Security Review reports exploitable bugs on every pull request. Both are available today on Teams and Enterprise plans. Rollouts Rollouts attaches a monitor to every pull request and watches the change as it deploys, reporting change health per environment: verified healthy, regression detected, or inconclusive. It's the Cursor version of Firetiger Change Monitors, rebuilt with the Bot Development Kit. Enable it from the dashboard and connect source control, your deploy system, and your telemetry provider. Rollouts starts watching on the next pull request. Monitoring plans When a pull request opens, Rollouts reads the diff and the systems it touches, then writes a monitoring plan as a PR comment. The plan lists the risks it identified, the effect the change is meant to have, the signals it will check, and any gaps in instrumentation that would make the change hard to verify. Edit the plan in the PR and Rollouts uses your version. Deploy tracking Rollouts wakes on deploy events for the change's commit and runs the plan against

Claude Opus 5.5 Now Available in Cursor

September 22, 2026

Claude Opus 5.5 is now available in Cursor. Cursor says it leads CursorBench at 57.8% in Max mode and costs 40% less per task than Opus 5.

Cursor Projects

September 10, 2026

Today we're launching Projects in Cursor. Projects lets you take on larger bodies of work, such as a feature, a migration, or a full app. It maintains context over months of work, delegates tasks to thousands of subagents, and performs recurring work without being prompted. Access Projects from the left-hand nav. The coordinator agent in a project doesn't write code itself; it plans the work, delegates it to agents that implement it, and brings the finished work back to you to check. Coordinators create and manage agents on your behalf, running as many in parallel as the work needs. Powered by Cloud Agents A Project runs on its own computer in the cloud, so closing your laptop doesn't stop it. When something needs testing on your machine, the coordinator spins up a local agent to run it there. Shared context You shouldn't have to onboard an agent every time you start a task. Each Project maintains a set of files that sync across every cloud and local machine its agents use. Agents add research and artifacts, along with what they learn about the codebase and how you prefer work to be done. If one agent figures out how to test a service, for example, every future agent can use those

Introducing Projects in Cursor

September 10, 2026

Projects let you work with a coordinator agent in a single, persistent thread instead of starting a new chat for every task. Like Cursor’s always-on agents, the coordinator proactively manages subagents and improves over time.

Self-hosted machines

September 2, 2026

Cursor supports **self-hosted machines**, which let you keep tool execution entirely in your own network. Your codebase, build outputs, and secrets all stay on internal machines running in your infrastructure, while the agent handles tool calls locally. Run on menu showing Remote Machines with self-hosted options lambda-test, cloud-demo, and jacks-desktop Dynamic pool scheduling **My Machines** connects a single laptop or VM to your account for personal workflows. **Team pools** are named queues of workers for a team or enterprise. Capacity can grow as requests arrive and shrink when workers disconnect, so your self-hosted machines can scale with demand. Pools are not tied to one repository: name the pool, and any available worker can claim the request. Pools can also hibernate idle machines, then restore within a reconnect window when a follow-up arrives, so you don't keep expensive capacity warm just for the next prompt. Cloud Agents dashboard listing Self-hosted Machines pools with active and idle worker counts Run on your sandboxes Cloud agents can now execute on infrastructure you already use, including from AWS Lambda, Coder, Cloudflare, Daytona, Modal, Namespace, Vercel, and

Run Cloud Agents on Your Own Infrastructure

September 2, 2026

You can now run Cursor cloud agents on your infrastructure, including pools of machines that automatically scale with demand. Planning and inference stay in Cursor's cloud; only tool execution moves to your network, so agents can reach internal services or specialized hardware. Worker pools scale with demand and can serve several repositories.

Start from scratch, without a repo

August 27, 2026

Cloud Agents no longer require a connected GitHub or other third-party SCM provider to get started. Prompt from the get-go, then save your work to a Cursor Origin repo. Get started Select **Start from scratch** in the repo picker, then prompt the agent. In the background, Cursor creates an Origin repo for you. Start from scratch in the repo picker Turn it into a real repo, whenever you want Once the agent's build is to your liking, click the **Create repo** button to save your work in an Origin repo. Choose a custom name or pick one of the suggested ones, then set the visibility to private or internal. You'll get a fully scaffolded Origin repo, ready to share or keep building on. Navigate to the Codebase tab to find your repo and access your project. A live preview, right in the browser Cursor now port-forwards your cloud agent's live environment straight to your browser, so you can preview it and use tools like design mode. Publish your work Connect a Vercel account and hit publish to get a live URL for what you built. A Vercel account is required to use the publish feature. Get started today.

Web Apps from Cursor to Vercel

August 27, 2026

Cursor can create a new web app, store the code with Origin, and deploy it to Vercel, keeping the path from first prompt to live site inside one tool.

Cloud Agents and Cursor Harness Improvements

August 19, 2026

We're continuing to improve cloud agents and the Cursor harness so always-on agents can operate as a system, building and shipping software on their own without the need for intervention at each loop. With this release, cloud agents can automatically pick up work in response to events, hold a goal until it's met, and stay on course through long-running sessions. Subscriptions Cursor can now monitor your PRs, watch a Slack thread, or run scheduled tasks. Cursor Agent subscribes to an event source (a thread or conversation) and wakes when something happens. Subscriptions are available for cloud agents only, for now. Cloud agents automatically subscribe to PRs they create and drive them to completion, fixing CI and addressing bot comments. In Slack, ask `@cursor check back in an hour and keep going until that feedback is in`. Custom modes Use any skill as a Custom Mode: a skill that stays pinned in the chat. Custom modes keep agents focused on a skill - you can think about it like "always on" skills. From `/`, pick a skill and press ⌥⏎ (Mac) or Alt+Enter (Windows), or choose **Use as Mode**. Subagents on their own machines Subagents can now run on their own virtual machines. Each gets

Origin Code Hosting

August 17, 2026

Cursor can now host your code. Origin begins rolling out today in early beta on all paid plans. We're starting with the essentials, designed for agent scale: repos, pull requests, code browsing, and GitHub sync. Agent-native features ship soon. Origin Repos The new **Codebase** tab is home for Origin repos. Click **+New** to create a new repo and name it. Once you do, a page shows you how to install the CLI, with commands for how to clone a repo or push a local project. Push, and your code is hosted on Origin. For Origin-hosted repos, Origin is the source of truth. Pushes land on Origin, and GitHub is not in the path. Name your codebase when you create your first repo. That name becomes part of every repo's URL: cursor.com/codebase/`acme-corp`. Bring your GitHub repos Your GitHub repos can sit alongside the ones Cursor hosts. Connect GitHub to Cursor, pick your org, and you'll see the repos you can sync. Select one and Cursor pulls it in. You choose what gets synced and can disconnect a repo at any time. Anyone with read or write access to a synced repo can view it in Cursor too. Synced repos update in real time. Browse, search, and pull from the copy in Origin. For synced repos, G

Origin Code Hosting Is Live

August 17, 2026

Origin, Cursor's code hosting platform, is now live — fast, easy to use, and deeply integrated with Cursor. Get started by syncing your repos from GitHub: imports stay in sync in real time with GitHub as the source of truth. Pull requests are fully supported, diffs, comments and merges included, and sync both ways. Agents can browse code, answer questions, make changes, and push branches inside a repo, and third-party apps come pre-integrated: Vercel for preview deployments, Depot and Buildkite for CI.

Cloud Agents Start 3x Faster with Builds

August 13, 2026

Agents do their best work when they start in a ready environment: repos cloned, dependencies installed, and your install script already run. This release introduces **builds**: ready-to-use copies of your development environment that Cursor prepares in the background. Agents boot into a ready environment instead of setting up from scratch each session. Builds are included with Cloud Agents at no additional cost. Faster starts Cursor runs a new build of your environment regularly. When a build succeeds, it becomes the environment future agents start from. Cursor keeps warm copies ready so the next agent does not wait. Internally, our environments now boot 10x faster, with 3x faster time to first token. Use your install command for anything that can be prepared ahead of time. The start command still runs when you first prompt an agent and should focus on services that need to be fresh in the session. More resilient agent runs When a bad commit or dependency update breaks your environment, agents keep using the last successful build. The broken build never becomes active, you are notified of the issue, and your agents keep working while you debug in the background. Build history and d

Cursor Router

July 22, 2026

Auto mode is now powered by Cursor Router. Cursor Router is our intelligent model router. It analyzes each request and sends it to the right model for the job. Frontier models handle work that demands them. Price-efficient models handle the rest. Optimization modes Select Auto, then choose how the router optimizes: **Intelligence:** Frontier quality, matching the most expensive and powerful models that might be out of reach for daily use. **Balance:** Strong quality, matching the frontier models that most people like to daily drive. **Cost:** Good quality, reaching the highest available intelligence while optimizing token spend. Balance and Intelligence bill at the routed model’s rate. Each mode moves you along the cost-intelligence pareto frontier. Admin controls Admins can enable the router per team or group, restrict which optimization modes members can use, set the default mode, and allow or block underlying models. Cursor Router is available across desktop, web, iOS, CLI, and our SDK. It is on by default for Teams plans. Enterprise admins can enable it from the dashboard.

Improvements to Cursor in Slack

July 17, 2026

Cursor in Slack now shares a plan before it starts, runs in multi-repo environments, and can work across channels and threads. Interaction improvements Cursor now responds with a plan before it begins, so you can jump in and redirect early. As it works, it updates its status so you can follow each step. We also refined how Cursor's responses look in Slack. In-message buttons are gone, replaced by compact footer links. Tables, PRs, and artifacts now render more cleanly. Multi-repo environment support From Slack, Cursor can now start in a named multi-repo environment instead of a single default repository. If your frontend, backend, and shared code live in separate repos, Cursor reads your request and targets the environment that gives it access to all of them. Mid-task, when Cursor needs a repo outside the current environment, it prompts you with a **Switch repository** button. Click it, choose the repo or environment, and Cursor picks up right where it left off. Cross-channel workflows Cursor can now read from and send messages to other Slack channels and threads. During a task, it can pull context from elsewhere in the workspace and post updates back in the original thread or the
