As a Sr. Software Engineer and a daily Cursor user, I’ve always felt that while Cursor is revolutionary, there’s a massive opportunity to extend its capabilities even further—especially when it comes to automation, sharing, and API testing.
What is CursorToys?
It’s not just a single tool; it’s a “Swiss Army Knife” for Cursor. Whether you need to refine text with AI, test an API without leaving your file, or share complex Agent Skills with a single link, CursorToys has you covered.
Key Features at a Glance:
-
In-Editor API Testing (with Assertions): Stop switching to Postman. Run .reqfiles directly in Cursor and use our new@assert()syntax (v1.10+) to automate your API testing. -
MCPB Package Manager: One-click install for Model Context Protocol bundles. Manage your MCP servers with a visual UI and editable environment variables. -
Skills Marketplace: Browse and install community-driven Agent Skills from the Tech Leads Club directly into your .cursor/skills/folder. -
AI Text Refinement: Instantly fix typos or improve code clarity using Google Gemini (Gemini 2.5 Flash/Pro) with a simple Cmd+Shift+R. -
Instant Sharing: Generate “deeplinks” for your custom rules, commands, or prompts. Perfect for keeping the whole team synced on AI instructions. -
Project Notepads & Hooks: Keep your documentation and automation scripts organized right in the sidebar.
Quick Start
You can be up and running in seconds. Install it directly from the Cursor (search for “CursorToys”) or via the Open VSX Registry.
Built for the Community
This project is open-source and MIT licensed. It was born out of the need to make my own workflow faster, and it has grown thanks to the amazing feedback from the Cursor community.
I’d love to hear what you think! What utilities are missing from your daily Cursor routine?
