### Feature request for product/service Cursor IDE ### Describe the request Currently, automations and cloud agents can only be managed through the Cursor web dashboard. There is no way to view or interact with them from inside the IDE. This creates unnecessary friction: developers have to constantly switch between the IDE and the browser to check on agent runs, automation status, or trigger new tasks. Proposed improvement: Add a panel or sidebar in the IDE that surfaces automations and cloud agents, synced in real time with the web. This would allow developers to: View running and completed agent tasks See automation history and current status Trigger or manage automations without leaving the IDE The web and IDE would stay in sync, so it does not matter where a task was started. ---

Hi Tomas! You’re right that automations are currently only manageable through the web dashboard. Cloud agents can be launched from the IDE and do appear in the agent sidebar. Still, the full management experience, especially for automations and viewing detailed run history, lives on the web today. A unified panel that keeps everything in sync, as you described, could be a meaningful improvement. I’ve passed this along to the team. Appreciate the detailed write-up! ---

Hi, yes we have a known bug here that is causing automations on individual plans to not be able to be saved. Please check this thread for more info: [Cannot save Automation with Self Hosted Agent Environment on Ultra (not using Pools and not on Team/Enterprise) - #3](https://forum.cursor.com/t/cannot-save-automation-with-self-hosted-agent-environment-on-ultra-not-using-pools-and-not-on-team-enterprise/158968/3) ---

Thank you for quick response. So will it be fixed in the next version or the one after that? ---

This doesn’t impact local automations in the Cursor App - you can still create and save those without a problem. This refers specifically to saving cloud automations, where the problem is occurring. Individuals are currently unable to create new automations on [https://cursor.com/automations/new](https://cursor.com/automations/new) ---
