## What it is
CodeCursor is a Visual Studio Code extension that brings the Cursor AI code editor experience into VS Code, offering AI code generation, code chat, and experimental whole-project generation powered by OpenAI GPT models. It requires signing into a Cursor account or supplying custom OpenAI API keys.

## Use cases
- use Cursor AI features inside VS Code instead of the standalone app
- generate code from a prompt directly in the editor
- chat with an AI about the currently opened file or selected code
- generate an entire starter project with AI in a workspace
- review AI-generated changes as a diff before accepting them

## When to choose
- you work primarily in VS Code and want Cursor-style AI assistance without switching editors
- you want AI code generation with diff-based review and accept/reject workflow
- you want to experiment with AI-generated whole projects

## When to avoid
- you prefer the official standalone Cursor editor with its full feature set
- you need an actively developed extension - the project appears to be in maintenance with its last release in October 2024
- you don't have a Cursor account or OpenAI API key
