Is it possible to manage the cursor via terminal?

I have a few thoughts about cost avoidance for an automation software demo.

With an external system, I can get the prompts that I will write to cursor into my system, and with a separate software, maybe I can send these prompts to cursor. But I wanted to get ideas from you.

Is there a known method to use cursor via terminal? As follows

cursor composer/agent $FILES_PATH ‘prompt’ --Y (yes for all questions)

Hey, this isn’t available yet, but it might be in the future. We’ll take it into consideration.

@deanrie I would very much like this feature as well. Right now I feel something like Claude Code is the go to for this but why would I pay for Claude Code when I can already use Cursor in the terminal - although only within the Cursor window for now. This feels like a natural evolution of the product.

I prefer Cursor Chat over Claude Code. I have been testing them side by side and Cursor’s Agent is more accurate, detailed, and better understands the user’s requests. Just I would love to be able to prompt Cursor Chat outside of it’s chatbox. Looking forward to seeing this implemented.
