Trigger Background Agent Programmatically

It would be great if I could trigger a new Background Agent to run programmatically from an API endpoint.

We have a ton of use cases for this. For example, whenever some leaves a batch of review comments on a PR, it should immediately trigger Cursor to run a new Background Agent to address all of the review comments.

Yes, that would likely be an extension of the Slack bot and BugBot integrations.

Slack Bot offers that already for now. But would be great to see it integrated in GH… :slight_smile:

There’s hands on keyboards and things in the works - watch this space!

Yes! We would love to be able to tag @Cursor or something of the like on Github.

But honestly we’d love to trigger a Background Agent from GitHub Actions, cronjobs, static code analysis tools, etc. There are so many small workflow tasks we’d love to hand over to agents.

The new slack integration looks so fantastic!! Sadly, my team and communities mostly operate in discord… seems like an obvious next step but would be lovely to hear someone from Cursor confirm whether or not the same slack bot functionality is coming to Discord?

Thank you!

tagging @danperks directly!

Feel free to also add Discord usage as a feature request!
