OpenCursor is an open-source, Cursor-like AI coding agent distributed as a VS Code extension. It provides agentic chat that reads workspaces, edits files, runs commands, and performs local semantic codebase search, with multi-provider LLM support including fully offline operation via llama.cpp and Ollama.

Use cases

  • run an AI coding agent fully offline in VS Code
  • chat with an agent that edits files and runs shell commands in my workspace
  • search my codebase semantically without sending code to the cloud
  • use my Claude or ChatGPT subscription inside VS Code as a coding assistant
  • run local GGUF models with llama.cpp or Ollama for code assistance
  • connect MCP tools to an AI coding agent
  • find code by meaning instead of keywords

When to choose

  • you want a Cursor-like AI agent without vendor lock-in or subscription
  • you need offline/airplane-mode coding with local models and local embeddings
  • you want to mix multiple LLM providers (OAuth, API keys, local) in one agent
  • you care about code never leaving your machine

When to avoid

  • you need a fully polished commercial product with guaranteed support
  • you don't use VS Code
  • you have no GPU/hardware for local models and no API keys
  • you need IDE-agnostic support beyond VS Code
