I’m sure there used to be a terminal allowlist in the Cursor settings page but I can’t find it anymore. Did it get removed recently?
Similarly, can I view the allowlist for MCP tools / plugins?
Yep, the terminal allowlist page was removed. Cursor now handles terminal permissions dynamically, so it will prompt you to approve commands when they run instead of managing a static allowlist in Settings.
Same idea for MCP tools/plugins: there isn’t a central “view allowlist” page. Permissions are handled per tool/server at runtime, not from a persistent list you can inspect. Hope that helps.
If I mark a certain plugin command as always run does that apply to just the current chat or forever? If forever, I would like a way to review and revoke that.
It usually applies globally. If you have “Auto-run in sandbox” enabled, it applies to every chat you start until you change that setting back to “Ask every time.”
I see. I had auto-run mode set to run everything but after changing it to auto-run in sandbox there are some more granular allowlists I can review.
Thanks for pointing me in that direction.

hi @Steven_Litvack-Winkl the Terminal Allowlist does still exist for “Auto-run in Sandbox”
As Chris mentioned there is no specific MCP allowlist.
Hi @Chris_C can you just explain this further. Does “Run in Sandbox” refer to the specific command that the agent is trying to run now, or all commands? And while we’re here, what exactly does “Run Everything” do? The tooltip isn’t crystal clear and it seems like the Docs may still be referring to allowlist, so would be great to get clarification from you please
Run in Sandbox applies to the specific command the agent is currently trying to run, not all future commands. If the agent proposes another command afterward, you’ll get prompted again*.*
Run Everything tells Cursor to automatically execute all subsequent proposed commands without asking you for approval each time.
