Cursor reinvents the code editor by putting AI at the heart of the development experience. Built on top of VS Code, it lets you edit multiple files at once using natural language, chat with your entire project, and hand off complete tasks to autonomous agents. Since version 2.0, its in-house Composer model and multi-agent interface make it possible to run several tasks in parallel.
Download Cursor from cursor.com and import your VS Code settings in one click, extensions included. Use Ctrl+K to edit code by instruction, or open the chat panel to query your codebase. Agent mode plans and executes changes across multiple files, which you review before they are applied.
