Cursor Agent review

Cursor Agent ranks fourth on the strength of its cloud agents. Cursor's documentation says they use the same agent as the editor but run in isolated VMs with full development environments: cloned repositories, installed dependencies, secrets, startup commands and network access. That lets an agent build, test and interact with the software it changes, and you can run as many in parallel as you want without leaving your laptop online. Multi-repo environments handle tasks that touch separate frontend, backend and infrastructure repositories, and the agent opens pull requests in each one. Integrations listed in the docs include Slack, Microsoft Teams, Jira, Linear, GitHub, GitLab, Azure DevOps and Bitbucket. The catch is plan structure. Plus at $8 is limited to Grok models, cloud agents and Bugbot reviews start at Premium for $30, and third-party models are billed at API list price. Teams start at $30 per user with pooled usage.

Who it is for

Developers who already work in Cursor and want to push long tasks to cloud agents that build, test and open pull requests.
