Overview
Developers use it to explore a repository with semantic codebase indexing, run agent sessions that edit multiple files, and keep a human-in-the-loop review before merging. Team features called out on the product include Bugbot-style AI code reviews, automations and shared rules or plugins for internal standards. Individuals can start with a free allotment of agent and chat requests; Pro and business tiers raise those limits and add collaboration controls. Limitation: free request caps run out quickly if you lean on agents all day, and agent output still needs tests and review for subtle regressions. Teams evaluating Cursor should compare its agent limits and model choices against their existing IDE setup rather than treating it as a fully unattended engineer.
Key features
- Agentic multi-file coding from the desktop editor
- Codebase-aware chat backed by secure codebase indexing
- Team AI code review via Bugbot plus shared rules/plugins
Limitations
Free accounts include only limited agent and chat requests; everyday agent-heavy workflows typically require a paid plan.
