Hi all,
I just learned I can use the Claude Code VS Code extension and it works BEAUTIFULLY well as a complement to my Cursor IDE. The extension was quite easy to get up and running, and it feels like a natural part of the Cursor IDE. It’s lowkey been a life saver for when the Cursor agent terminal acts wonky in these latest versions of the app!
I have a subscription plan to both Claude and Cursor (for Claude, I use its Pro equivalent subscription. While it seems like I hit rate limits quick, I so far REALLY dig using its online webapp capabilities to read my github repos and perform work and analysis from there.) I effectively work off github repos through Claude, while I work locally on my uncommitted code through Cursor.
I’m thinking this is a bit redundant since I’m using Cursor’s Pro subscription, but something about the way the Claude Code extension works tickles my brain ![]()
I’m now wondering if there’s other useful extensions out there specifically to enhance Cursor as an IDE and if the community has suggestions.
Also, I STILL for the life of me can’t figure out MCP tools. Maybe one day I’ll figure it out!
