Last verified DocumentedBased on official sources; we have not tested this tool ourselves.

At a glance

Cursor is an AI coding tool from Anysphere. The documentation describes it as a coding agent for understanding codebases, planning and building features, fixing bugs and reviewing changes. It ships as a desktop app for macOS, Windows and Linux, with plans from Hobby to Enterprise.

Best for

Developers and engineering teams that want an AI coding agent in a desktop editor with model choice, team administration and, on higher tiers, SSO and audit controls.

Not for
