IP from Agents Window

@fenrircodes here.

Recently I was using Cursor Agents for a full testing and implementation workflow and ran into an interesting limitation.

I’m based in Australia and was testing integrations with a digital asset exchange. Because Agent traffic was originating from US-based IPs, I ended up getting blocked by the exchange’s geo-restrictions. There was nothing unusual about the activity—I was simply trying to perform some testing from my own account.

My workaround was to move into the terminal and run everything locally. This solved the IP issue immediately, but it also took me away from the Agents window experience, which is honestly one of my favourite parts of Cursor.

It got me thinking: could there be a future option to run Agent execution locally while still maintaining the Agents interface and workflow? I completely understand there would be latency, resource, and architectural trade-offs, but having the choice could be valuable for users dealing with region-specific services, compliance requirements, private infrastructure, or IP-based restrictions.

Curious if others have run into similar issues and whether local Agent execution is something already being considered.

Hey, thanks for the detailed writeup. The case is clear.

What you’re describing, running the agent in your own environment so traffic comes from your IP or region and can reach region-restricted or private resources, is exactly what Self-Hosted Cloud Agents are for. The code and tool execution stay in your network or on your machine, while the interface and the Agents window workflow stay the same. More details: Self-Hosted Pool | Cursor Docs

One catch is that this is currently available on team plans. You’re on Pro individual, so you can’t use it right now.

There’s already a similar request for Pro access here: Self hosting machine for automations in Pro Self hosting machine for automations in Pro. Feel free to upvote and share your use case there so the signal for individual support is clearer.

Thanks for the clear response and direction to the other case I will definitely check this out.
Also really pleased to hear this is already available in a team environment.
