## What it is
Cursor is an AI-powered code editor and coding agent (a fork of VS Code) that lets developers delegate implementation tasks to AI agents, with features like codebase-aware chat, multi-file edits, cloud agents running in isolated VMs, and a CLI. The GitHub repository primarily serves as the public issue tracker and documentation hub, since the core product is proprietary and distributed via cursor.com.

## Use cases
- ai code editor that understands my codebase
- delegate coding tasks to an ai agent
- refactor multiple files with ai assistance
- run coding agents in the cloud on my repos
- ai pair programmer for fixing bugs
- automated code review bot for pull requests
- ai coding assistant with mcp support

## When to choose
- you want an AI-first editor with agentic multi-file editing and codebase context
- you need cloud agents that build, test, and verify changes in isolated VMs
- you want MCP, rules, and skills support to customize AI behavior
- you want a CLI agent for terminal or CI workflows

## When to avoid
- you need a fully open-source editor since the core product is proprietary
- you prefer local-only AI without cloud services or subscriptions
- you need deep customization of the editor's source code
- your organization prohibits sending code to third-party AI services
