Hi @nevilleweb We already have this!

You mentioned the CLI but you might be talking about Cursor Cloud agents instead. Regarding the CLI, there is a Gitlab plugin you can install with /plugin and then scroll over to marketplace to install the Gitlab one.

If you’re talking about Cloud Agents, here’s how to get started with GitLab:

Prerequisites

  • Cursor admin access + Maintainer (or Owner) on the GitLab project (needed to create the project access token and webhook).
  • A paid GitLab plan (Premium or Ultimate). Project access tokens aren’t available on Free, so setup fails there regardless of your role.

Steps (gitlab.com)

  1. In the Cursor dashboard, go to Integrations and click Connect next to GitLab, then follow the install flow.
  2. Click Manage next to your GitLab connection and select Sync Repos.
  3. Back on the dashboard, enable Cloud Agents on the repos you want.
  4. Start a Cloud Agent against the repo and pick your branch.

Is there any hope you make this work on the free account? I think it should be possible to make this feature work without using a Project access token but a regular user token.

Thanks

Hi @iBobo You need a paid Gitlab plan for the integration to work properly.

The GitLab integration authenticates using project access tokens, and GitLab only offers those on its paid tiers (Premium/Ultimate). They’re not available on GitLab Free, so without a paid plan Cursor can’t create the token it needs to connect and act on the repo.
