https://aitoolchain.io/tools/cursor New releases and features in Cursor, tracked by The AI Toolchain. en Thu, 27 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://cursor.com/changelog/start-from-scratch https://cursor.com/changelog/start-from-scratch Thu, 27 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMT Cursor Cloud Agents now work without a GitHub account — start from a prompt, preview live in-browser, and publish via Vercel. • Adds 'Start from scratch' option in the repo picker so Cloud Agents can run without a connected GitHub or other third-party SCM provider. • Adds 'Create repo' button to save an in-progress agent build to a named Cursor Origin repo with configurable visibility (private or internal). • Adds the Codebase tab for navigating and accessing Origin repos after creation. • Port-forwards the cloud agent's live environment directly to the browser, enabling in-browser preview and design mode without extra tooling. • Adds Vercel account integration with a publish action that generates a live public URL for the built project. https://cursor.com/changelog/08-13-26 https://cursor.com/changelog/08-13-26 Wed, 19 Aug 2026 09:48:52 GMT Cursor Cloud Agents gain Builds: pre-warmed environments that cut agent startup time 3x and add build history + resilience. • Introduces Builds for Cloud Agents: pre-prepared copies of your development environment (repos cloned, dependencies installed, install script run) that agents boot into instead of setting up from scratch each session. • Agents now start 3x faster (time to first token) thanks to environments that internally boot 10x faster via warm Build copies kept ready in the background. • Adds a `Builds` tab in the Cloud Agents dashboard for inspecting build status, logs, commit SHAs, and which build each agent run used. • Enables `Enable Builds` and `Run setup agent` actions on the `Builds` tab for migrating existing environments to Builds. • Supports manually triggering a Build and debugging failing Builds with an agent directly from the Cloud Agents dashboard. • Adds a configurable staleness threshold to control how often Builds refresh. • When a bad commit or dependency update breaks an environment, agents automatically continue using the last successful Build; the broken Build never becomes active and users are notified. • Agents can inspect and manage Builds using built-in agent tools. https://cursor.com/changelog/cursor-start https://cursor.com/changelog/cursor-start Wed, 19 Aug 2026 09:48:52 GMT Cursor launches Start plan for India at ₹649/month with UPI billing, cloud agents, and iOS remote control. • New Cursor Start plan (₹649/month, INR, tax-inclusive) available to developers in India, selectable at `cursor.com/signup` during onboarding or via the dashboard for existing Free users. • Supports UPI and card payment for Indian billing, making local payment methods a first-class option. • Always-on cloud agents that build, test, and ship code continuously in the background. • Cursor for iOS with remote control to launch and steer agents from a mobile device. • Includes plugins, MCP servers, hooks, and skills to extend Cursor across workflows. https://cursor.com/changelog/ipad https://cursor.com/changelog/ipad Wed, 19 Aug 2026 09:48:52 GMT Cursor launches on iPad with split-screen review, Apple Pencil markup, inbox, and Bitbucket/Azure DevOps support. • Cursor is now available on iPad for all paid plan subscribers, with a rebuilt layout featuring pinned sidebar chats for monitoring multiple agents simultaneously. • Split-screen mode lets users keep a PR review open alongside a chat session with full file diff rendering. • Apple Pencil support enables drawing directly on attached screenshots; tap-to-place comments let users annotate images at specific points. • Full PR review surface on iPhone and iPad now covers comments, checks, approvals, reviewer management, and agent-driven resolution — through to merge. • New Inbox view surfaces in-progress work, items needing attention, and PRs currently in review. • Adds Bitbucket and Azure DevOps as supported SCM providers on iOS/iPadOS. • Multi-PR sessions now let users open every PR created by a single chat, not just the most recent one. • In-app team switching lets users move between teams they belong to without leaving the app. https://cursor.com/changelog/google-workspace-plugins https://cursor.com/changelog/google-workspace-plugins Wed, 19 Aug 2026 09:48:52 GMT Cursor gains Google Workspace plugins giving coding agents direct access to Gmail, Google Drive, and Calendar. • New Google Drive plugin lets agents search files and folders, open and download content, and create and organize files from within Cursor. • New Gmail plugin lets agents search and read mail, draft and send messages, apply labels, and manage threads. • New Google Calendar plugin lets agents read schedules, create and update events, and find free time. • New plugins are browseable and installable from the Cursor Marketplace or the Customize page in Cursor. https://cursor.com/changelog/origin-code-hosting https://cursor.com/changelog/origin-code-hosting Wed, 19 Aug 2026 09:48:52 GMT Cursor launches Origin, a built-in code hosting platform with repos, pull requests, GitHub sync, and CI/CD app integrations. • New `Codebase` tab in Cursor hosts Origin repos; click `+New` to create a repo whose URL follows the pattern `cursor.com/codebase/<codebase-name>`. • CLI install flow provided on repo creation with commands to clone a repo or push a local project to Origin. • GitHub sync lets you connect a GitHub org and pull repos into Origin alongside Cursor-hosted ones; synced repos update in real time, with pushes continuing to GitHub as source of truth. • Pull requests on every repo show timeline, commits, checks, diffs, and comments; PRs on synced repos sync bidirectionally with GitHub within seconds. • Agents integrated directly into repos can answer questions about browsed code, make changes, update PRs, or push a branch. • App integrations available from each repo's `Apps` tab: Vercel (preview deployments per PR), Depot (GitHub Actions CI), and Buildkite (GitHub Actions and native pipelines). • Per-repo `Settings` page exposes GitHub sync status, access management, and connected apps. • Origin is available in early beta on all paid plans (excluding enterprise orgs whose admins opt out). https://cursor.com/changelog/08-19-26 https://cursor.com/changelog/08-19-26 Wed, 19 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMT Cursor cloud agents gain event subscriptions, `/goal`, custom modes, isolated subagent VMs, and mid-run steering. • Adds `Subscriptions` for cloud agents: agents can monitor PR activity, watch a Slack thread, or run scheduled tasks, waking automatically when an event fires. • Cloud agents automatically subscribe to PRs they create and drive them to completion, fixing CI and addressing bot comments without manual re-triggering. • Adds `/goal` command — give an agent a long-lived objective it pursues across loops until fully complete; pairs with custom modes or `/loop` for recurring check-ins. • Adds `Custom Modes`: pin any skill as an always-on mode via `⌥⏎` (Mac) / `Alt+Enter` (Windows) or the 'Use as Mode' option from the `/` skill picker. • Subagents can now run on their own isolated virtual machines, each receiving a clean copy of the project — enables swarming independent fixes or testing parent-agent changes without collisions. • Adds mid-run steering: send a follow-up message while an agent is working via 'Send now' or double-`⏎`; the message waits for the next tool call instead of interrupting mid-action.
