What it does
AI code editor with agentic coding (Agent/Composer), frontier model access, cloud agents, MCP support, and Bugbot code review.
Strong fit
Developers who want AI deeply integrated in their editor: multi-file agentic edits, frontier models, team features, and cloud agents.
Poor fit
Not for non-programmers, it is a full code editor/IDE; general chat, writing or research tasks are better served by a chat assistant.
Limitations
Free Hobby tier has limited Agent requests; heavy agent use quickly exceeds Pro's included usage (usage-based billing beyond it); it is an IDE, so setup assumes coding knowledge.
Privacy & data handling
Privacy Mode (available to all users, enforced for teams): when enabled Cursor will not train on your data; technical/contractual controls with model providers ().
Verified facts
