Cursor is a freemium AI coding agent platform designed for software developers and engineering teams. It supports multiple model providers — OpenAI, Anthropic, Google (Gemini), SpaceXAI (Grok), and Cursor's own models — giving developers flexibility in choosing the underlying LLM for their workflows. Cursor's agentic architecture enables autonomous agents to plan, build, test, and demo features with minimal manual intervention, including cloud agents that run in parallel on complex tasks. It integrates directly into the IDE with AI-powered code completion and editing, and exposes a CLI for terminal-based workflows. An API is available for programmatic access. Enterprise deployments support SAML/OIDC SSO and SCIM provisioning, and the platform holds SOC 2, ISO 27001, ISO 42001, and AIUC-1 certifications. A privacy mode prevents code data from being used for model training.
