Cloud Agents + Multiple Repositories (non-monorepo setup)

Support Help
,
1

I’m using Cursor Cloud Agents via the browser (not the IDE).

My codebase is split across multiple GitHub repositories:

  • frontend

  • backend

  • mobile

  • specs / docs

I don’t use a monorepo.

When launching a Cloud Agent, I’m required to select a single repository.
Even though the Cursor GitHub OAuth app has access to all my repos, the agent can’t clone or access the others (e.g., via gh).

Questions:

  1. Is multi-repo access intentionally unsupported for Cloud Agents today?

  2. Are Git submodules expected to be the workaround here, or are they not officially supported?

  3. Is there a recommended pattern for Cloud Agents when working across frontend + backend repos?

Hey @prasad_subrahmanya!

I can confirm that multi-repo support for Cloud Agents isn’t available today. It’s top of mind (it would be immensely helpful to us here at Cursor as well).

Submodules aren’t a great workaround here. Cloud Agents explicitly skip fetching submodule contents during setup (--recurse-submodules=no), and even if you (or the agent) manually initialized them, you wouldn’t be able to edit or make PRs to those repos.

Hello @Colin

What is the technical limitation there?

Should we be expecting multi repositories support anytime soon ?

Multi‑repo Cloud Agents are on the roadmap, but not yet GA!
