Can we expose some additional cursor endpoints so we can create custom extensions specifically for cursor? Developing things like PDF reading could easily be offloaded to the community. Love the product and look forward to grokking AI! ---

Would love to have this working as well. For now I have to open VSCode instead to develop extensions. Definitely annoying! ---

We have no short-term plans for extensions. But this could make sense in the long run! ---

The sole reason why I didn’t give a try to Cursor earlier was because I saw that it’s a completely new editor and I didn’t know that it’s a VS Code fork and that you can install VS Code extensions. I’ve got a majority of VS Code extensions installed, but I have a few extensions that I’ve modified/forked and didn’t publish my modified versions because reasons. I’d love to be able to install these extensions as they are crucial to my workflow. ---

I don’t know why this page is hidden (not part of the docs). I just found out you can install custom packaged extension that’s not in the VS Code Marketplace by building the extension and drag&dropping the extension file on Extensions tab in Cursor: > **[Extension | Cursor - The AI-first Code Editor](https://www.cursor.com/how-to-install-extension)** > > Cursor is the AI code editor. This completely resolves my issue with not being able to install my own custom extensions. ---

Thanks for information. ---
