Who is this community for?
This is where Cursor users and team members come together to share knowledge, solve problems, and learn from each other. Whether you’re debugging an issue or exploring what’s possible with Cursor, this is the place!
Making great contributions
Adding to existing threads
Got a tip that might help someone? Add it to their thread.
Think you’re hitting the same issue as an existing thread? If it’s recent and unsolved, your details might help uncover the root cause. Jump in!
If it’s older than a couple of months, start a fresh thread with your own details. A lot can change quickly, and “me too” on an old thread doesn’t give anyone much to work with. Feel free to link to related threads if you create a new topic, though!
Choosing the right category
Take a moment to pick the correct category for your post. This will help the right people find it. The pinned topic in each category explains what belongs there.
One topic per thread
Keep threads focused on a single issue. If topics need merging, a Cursor staff member will handle that. Don’t bump old threads with unrelated problems, and try not to derail a conversation midstream.
Help others help you
The more context you give, the better others can help. What are you trying to do? What have you tried? What happened instead?
A few things that make a big difference:
- A clear, specific title
- Relevant tags (having an issue with Bugbot? Add the
bugbottag) - Version numbers, logs, and steps to reproduce
- What you’ve already tried or ruled out
Dumping a wall of logs without context usually doesn’t get much traction. Take a few minutes to explain what’s going on.
Search first
Somebody may have run into your issue before. A quick search might save everyone some time. If you do post, mentioning what you’ve already found helps avoid duplicate suggestions.
Keep it confidential
If something’s confidential, don’t post it. You can edit your own posts for a while after submitting, so if you accidentally share something you shouldn’t have, fix it quickly. If you can’t edit anymore, reach out, and somebody will help.
Don’t share:
- Passwords, access credentials, or sensitive secrets
- API keys and tokens for third-party services
- Internal documentation that could pose a security risk
- Personal information
Only post links to official download sources
Always download Cursor from cursor.com. Links to unofficial or third-party download sites will be removed. This keeps everyone safe.
Be excellent to each other
- Be kind. Everyone’s learning something. Everyone makes mistakes. Respond the way you’d want someone to respond to you.
- Be respectful. Disagree with ideas, not people. Keep it constructive.
- Be welcoming. No harassment, no hate speech, no personal attacks.
- Keep it clean. Nothing obscene, nothing spammy.
If you’re not sure whether something crosses a line, it probably does.
Response times
This is a community of people helping each other out.
- Be patient. Give it a few days before bumping. Don’t @mention people who aren’t already in the conversation.
- Give back. If you’ve learned something here, stick around and help someone else. That’s how communities thrive!
About @mentions
When you @mention someone, they get a notification (and maybe an email). Use it thoughtfully.
Generally, don’t @mention people who aren’t already in the thread. It can feel demanding, and active community members already watch for new posts. A good title and the correct category will get more attention than pinging individuals.
When it makes sense: clarifying who you’re responding to in a busy thread, or crediting someone whose solution you’re building on.
See something off?
Don’t engage with bad behavior, just flag it. Replying only encourages it and wastes everyone’s time. If enough flags pile up, a Cursor staff member will take action.
Cursor reserves the right to remove content or accounts to keep this space healthy.
Respect Intellectual Property
Only post what you have the right to share. Don’t link to pirated software, copyrighted material, or anything that breaks the law.
Account & Billing
For account or billing issues, email [email protected]. Posts about these topics may be removed because they’re better handled privately.
