Improve Cursor experience integrating third-party SDKs/APIs

[relaxedtomato (Ram)]

Hi there,

As a API/SDK provider, I like to learn ways we can make changes to either third-party documentation, SDKs or even templated .cursorrules that I can provide to developers building with third-party API or SDKs to improve developer experience when using Cursor.

Open to suggestions, exploring a few at the moment:

• Prepare API / SDK specific .cursorrules
• Explore ways to tokenize documentation / SDKs for LLMs
• Add documentation to cursor crawler dropdown

Open to suggestions and comments on this as I learn more about this space.

Hi @relaxedtomato,

Thanks for sharing your ideas! I’m really interested in what you’re proposing, but I’d love some clarification on a few points:

• .cursorrules:
  I understand you’re looking at ways to integrate or curate .cursorrules for third-party documentation and SDKs. I came across a curated set of awesome .cursorrules which is open source on GitHub (GitHub - PatrickJS/awesome-cursorrules: 📄 A curated list of awesome .cursorrules files). Is this similar to what you had in mind?

• Other Documentation:
  You mentioned adding documentation recommendations. For those looking to contribute documentation for everyone’s benefit, there’s a PR process available here: GitHub - getcursor/crawler: Easily show documentation to Cursor's coding AI. Is this what you meant?

• Direct Docs on Cursor:
  Also, I noticed that docs can be added directly on Cursor using the @docs command (via “Add New Docs”). I’ve attached a screenshot for reference:

Hi @sanjeed5 - these are some things I’ve explored previously from my early message, I am looking for ways to improve our own surfaces to be better integrated with Cursor.

Imagine a Shopify or Stripe that want to learn better ways to adapt their product APIs for Cursor. So besides Cursor available features, what can be done by a third party API developer.
