Engineering teams can delegate routine development and operational workflows—such as triaging Sentry errors, handling PagerDuty incidents, or reviewing pull requests—to automated cloud agents that can interact directly with repositories and external tools.
With Automations, Cursor shifts from a localized coding assistant to an automated background workflow engine. Combining MCP server integrations, persistent memory files, and Computer Use allows agents to investigate failures, produce visual proof of work, and maintain context across runs, while restricting fork-based executions to mitigate untrusted code risks.

The official documentation outlines Cursor's Cloud Agents, formerly known as Background Agents. Rather than running locally, these agents execute in isolated cloud virtual machines provisioned with full development setups, including cloned repositories, dependencies, secrets, and network access. They support parallel runs, automated testing, and interactive remote desktop control.
