## What it is
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
