API access to set Team Rules

Feature request for product/service

Cursor Web

Describe the request

Description:
Cursor provides the ability to define shared rules and prompts via the team admin portal, which would be very useful for ensuring consistent behavior across our organization.

Current Limitation:
We are not currently using team rules because there is no way to access or update them programmatically via the Cursor API. Without API or automation support, keeping these rules in sync is impractical.

Current Workaround:
Instead, we maintain a repository of Cursor rules that each developer must clone locally and manually configure. This approach requires ongoing manual effort, is easy to misconfigure, and makes it difficult to ensure everyone stays up to date.

Feature Request:
Expose an API, CLI, or file-based mechanism for managing team-level Cursor rules so they can be stored in source control and deployed automatically via CI/CD pipelines.

Expected Outcome:
Teams could centrally manage and version Cursor rules, eliminate per-developer setup, and reliably enforce consistent configuration across all users.

so i don’t use team rules myself (solo dev) but i keep seeing threads where teams are building their own janky sync setups because the built-in feature doesn’t do globs or version control. one company apparently built a whole vscode extension just for this.

got me wondering if a simple cli that pulls .cursor/rules/ from a shared repo would actually get used. like eslint shared configs but for cursor rules. or would teams just wait for cursor to fix the native feature?
