Extend Cursor with plugins
Summary
Cursor now supports plugins, allowing agents to connect to external tools and acquire new knowledge. Plugins bundle MCP servers, skills, subagents, rules, and hooks to add custom functionality. The initial curated set includes Amplitude, AWS, Figma, Linear, Stripe, Cloudflare, Vercel, Databricks, Snowflake, and Hex, covering planning, design, payments, infrastructure, data, and analytics workflows. Users can install prebuilt plugins from the Cursor Marketplace or create and share their own, while plugin primitives let agents discover domain-specific skills, run subagents in parallel, connect through MCP servers, observe behavior with hooks, and follow rules. The announcement also introduces the Cursor Team Kit for internal CI, code review, and testing workflows, and says private team marketplaces with governance and security controls are coming.
Context
Cursor positions plugins as a way to use the tools teams already rely on across the product development lifecycle, while orchestrating that work in the same place where code is generated.
Approach / What changed
A plugin combines one or more agent primitives: domain-specific skills, parallel subagents, MCP servers for external tools or data, hooks for observing and controlling behavior, and rules for coding standards and preferences. Plugins can be installed from the Cursor Marketplace or created and shared by users.
Takeaways
Plugins connect Cursor agents to external tools and knowledge through bundled MCP servers, skills, subagents, rules, and hooks.
The curated plugin set covers workflows including Linear issue and document access, Figma design translation, Stripe payments, AWS, Cloudflare and Vercel infrastructure, and analytics through Databricks, Snowflake, Amplitude and Hex.
The Cursor Team Kit packages internal workflows for CI, code review and testing; private team marketplaces with governance and security controls are planned.
