Cursor for humans

Cursor is an AI-native code editor forked from VS Code. Tab completion, inline edit, and agent-style multi-file tasks are the human product — and they are excellent, which is why so many engineers switched in 2025–2026. Agent score is high because of rules files, SKILL-like project context, background agents, and hooks that let other tools drive the repo. It is still an editor you buy per seat, not a generic HTTP coding API, so we do not pretend it replaces a CI system. Twin Score on this directory is 90 for humans and 84 for agents, using the public rubric (interface, onboarding, human docs, collaboration, support, pricing fairness, accessibility, reliability versus API quality, MCP or tool surface, CLI, structured docs, machine auth, quotas, determinism, and skill packaging). Cursor is sold by Anysphere, founded 2023, headquartered in San Francisco, USA. Pricing in public materials: Hobby free; Pro and Business subscription with usage-based model calls. Machine capabilities we record: API strong, MCP strong, CLI basic, docs strong, auth Account; editor rules and API for teams. This page is editorial, not a star rating scraped from users.
