Cursor Cloud Agents
by Anysphere
Cursor Cloud Agents (also known as Background Agents) are fully autonomous coding agents from Anysphere that spin up isolated Ubuntu VMs to execute software engineering tasks asynchronously. They can be triggered directly from Slack, GitHub, Linear, or the Cursor IDE, allowing developers to delegate tasks without being at their machine. The agent handles the full dev loop — writing code, running tests, and opening pull requests — then hands back control when complete.
