Hi Cursor team,
I’m an independent developer, not a company, and my AI agent product currently has approximately 1 million users. It provides features including deep research, academic writing and review, scientific visualization, presentation creation, PDF translation, and experimental data processing.
Currently, I use my own VMs together with OpenCode for experimental data processing and presentation generation. However, I do not want to spend significant time maintaining the VM infrastructure and coding-agent runtime. I would rather focus on designing better workflows and tools.
I’m considering replacing my “VM + OpenCode” setup with Cursor Cloud Agents. My product would call Cursor Cloud Agents programmatically through the official API or SDK to perform coding-related steps within larger user workflows. Cursor would only be a backend component; users would interact with my product, and I would not resell or expose Cursor as a standalone service.
I am fully willing to pay for all usage on a usage-based, pay-as-you-go basis.
However, the Acceptable Use Policy updated on August 11, 2026 states that users may not access the service through automated or non-human means, including bots or scripts.
Does calling Cursor Cloud Agents through the official API or SDK from my product count as prohibited automated access? More generally, is the customer-facing use case described above permitted under Cursor Cloud Agents’ terms?
Since I am an individual developer without a company, I may not be able to apply for an Enterprise account. Is this use case permitted under an individual or non-Enterprise account?
I would appreciate an official clarification before proceeding.
