New in Cursor CLI! · Full changelog · Main announcement Big update to the CLI: agent modes (Plan and Ask), cloud handoff for background tasks, and one-click MCP auth are now available. Some questions for the community: What should we build next? Plan and Ask mode are now in the CLI. Would you us…

I’ve used it for blender, unity, web apps, shopify apps, three.js games, and the latest, three.js and blender web portf…
