Cursor Projects

Sep 10, 2026 · Changelog Cursor Projects 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, f

Self-hosted machines

Sep 2, 2026 · Changelog Self-hosted machines 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. # 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. # 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 E2B. # Computer use on Linux and Mac Self-hosted workers now support computer use on Linux and Mac. With the right desktop packages, an agent can click, type

Start from scratch, without a repo

Aug 27, 2026 · Changelog Start from scratch, without a repo 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. # 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.

Cloud Agents and Cursor Harness Improvements

Aug 19, 2026 · Changelog Cloud Agents and Cursor Harness Improvements 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

Origin Code Hosting

Aug 17, 2026 · Changelog Origin Code Hosting 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 fro

Publication boundary

Confidence, importance, and discussion are three different numbers.

Official and first-party repository changes may publish automatically after deterministic validation. Independent sources remain draft until review. Community links are attached as discussion evidence and cannot create an indexable fact by themselves.
