We’re on a Team plan and currently have Bugbot enabled across our repositories. With Bugbot moving to usage-based billing for us on June 13, 2026, we’re trying to control spend by making Bugbot opt-in rather than automatic.
What we’d like is:
Bugbot does not automatically review every PR when opened
Bugbot only runs when someone comments cursor review or bugbot run
Ideally this would be configurable at the team/org level, not per-user
I can’t see a team-level “only run when mentioned” option.
Is there currently any way for a Team admin to configure Bugbot so it only runs when explicitly mentioned? Even just a way to set the default value for the user-level setting would be appreciated. As it stands, I’d need to ask every user to go into their own settings and make the change individually.
There isn’t a single team-level “only run when mentioned” toggle today. That specific option (“Run only when mentioned” via cursor review / bugbot run) currently lives in each member’s Personal settings, so it can’t be set as a team-wide default from one place yet. I’ve noted the demand for an admin-level version of this.
That said, there are a few team-admin levers in the Bugbot dashboard that directly help control spend without asking everyone to change their own settings:
Run only once per PR (team Repository settings) - Bugbot reviews once when a PR opens and skips subsequent pushes, instead of reviewing every push. This is the biggest automatic-review reduction available at the team level.
Effort level → Default (rather than High) - cheaper, faster reviews per run.
Per-repo enable/disable plus the Admin Configuration API (api.cursor.com/bugbot/``..., using a team Admin API key) - bulk enable/disable Bugbot across repositories programmatically, so you manage it centrally rather than per user.
If your main goal is purely cost control before the June 13 change, combining “Run only once per PR” with a Default effort level usually makes the biggest difference. Full details are in the Bugbot docs.
