Remote control of Cursor

How To
1

Hello,

I’m thinking of automating repeatable actions in my projects and looking into a way if it’s somehow implement the following super-simplified scenario:

  1. Open Cursor in project folder
  2. Make agent execute multiple actions defined as prompts
  3. Apply changes on project and close Cursor

Kind of if cursor would become a MCP client or just a client of my application/script. This is obviously very very simplified for the sake of the thought exercise but wondered if this is in any way possible.
So far only similar topic I’ve found was What's the "RCP Server" option in the Beta settings? - #18 by T1000 but not yet sure how real it was.

Best regards :slight_smile:

Hi, the feature I posted about was a test feature that has been changed and incorporated into Background Agent.

The Background Agent can be controlled now through:

  • Cursor: make a chat request for background agent so it can work on a task.
  • Slack Bot: same but requesting through Slack

There is currently no remote control of Cursor itself.
