Cursor

About

Cursor is a code editor built around agents: describe a task and one works in the repository, edits files, runs commands, reads the diff and explains what it did, with the conversation and the code side by side. Work can also run in the background as separate tasks, each on its own branch, returning as a pull request that is reviewed and merged from inside the editor, which is how several agents end up in flight at once. It keeps the editing shortcuts people already know, adds multi-file changes driven by context from the codebase, supports MCP servers and skills, and is priced by usage: a free Hobby tier with limited agent requests, then Pro at $20 a month and up. It is closed source and needs macOS 12 or later.
