Recently shipped the Agent SDK: agents are now folders of code, testable with evals and deployable to Cursor or your own infrastructure.
Agent SDK treats agents as projects. npx @cursor/agent-sdk init scaffolds one and agent-sdk dev runs it locally with a playground; templates cover a security reviewer, an owners-policy approver, a PR autofixer, and Linear or Jira triagers. instructions.md is the prompt, each file in tools/ is a typed action, and skills/ holds procedures loaded on demand. agent-sdk deploy gives the agent a URL and keeps the same logs, evals, and playground.
Cloud agents build shareable canvases. Canvases are now part of an agent's work and go out as a link. Environments hold up to 300 repositories, load 5x faster, and the Environments API is in beta.
Remote control steers local agents from iOS. Agents keep running on your computer; the iOS app lists them and accepts replies, on by default except for Enterprise. Cursor for iPad arrived on paid plans with pinned chats, split-screen review, and Apple Pencil markup, plus an Inbox and full-PR review screen.
Origin hosts code and apps. Repos, PRs, and GitHub sync in early beta on paid plans, with a Codebase tab for creating repos. The marketplace passed 20 integrations — Cloudflare, Linear, Sentry, Socket — and accepts public submissions.
Projects and self-hosted machines run the long work. A coordinator agent plans, delegates to thousands of parallel subagents, and returns finished work without writing code itself. Self-hosted machines keep code, builds, and secrets inside your network. Cloud agents start without a repo, boot 10x faster from builds, and subscribe to PRs, Slack threads, and schedules.
Rollouts and Security Review report per-environment change health and exploitable bugs on every PR; Teams and Enterprise only.
