Cursor Projects
A multi-agent collaboration feature introduced by Cursor that supports continuous interaction with an orchestrator agent within a persistent single thread. The orchestrator schedules sub-agents to execute complex development tasks in parallel, maintaining context continuity across sessions.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Cursor's Projects feature provides a "coordinator agent" that does not do the work itself but instead assigns tasks and supervises sub-Agents.
Lauren Tan uses tools like GrokBot to subscribe to Slack channels, X mentions, or Linear issues, and feeds the information into Cursor's Projects coordinator Agent via MCP or self-built connectors.
Competitor comparison: Grok Bot offers a persistent cloud computer, scheduled tasks and asking before sensitive operations, but has multiple named Bots; Cursor Projects focuses on long coding work and returns pull requests; Meta Muse targets consumer errands, travel and forms, and is free for most uses.
Both Claude Code Projects and Cursor Projects adopt a coordinator mechanism responsible for splitting tasks among multiple cloud Agents running in parallel and maintaining shared context.
Cursor Projects is available on all paid plans (including the Enterprise plan), but excludes the free Hobby plan.
Cursor Projects does not support legacy privacy mode.
When selecting tools, priority should be given to those that match the existing code hosting location and subscription plan, rather than simply comparing which is more capable.
The demonstrator ran approximately 25 agents working in parallel simultaneously on a software project.
The workflow for Cursor Projects includes creating a workspace, connecting a local code repository to GitHub or Origin, setting a default agent model, and creating and saving a cloud environment.
Cursor Projects circumvents context window limitations by persisting project state to the cloud and decoupling it from the agent lifecycle.
