Cursor

Agents

Cursor’s coding agent, with the same models and rules as the editor.

What it does

The Cursor card opens Cursor’s coding agent in your project, with the same models and rules as the editor, as a Deska task or in a terminal panel. As a task, Deska starts cursor-agent as its own agent server, and Cursor’s questions and proposed plans arrive as cards. In Approval required mode it runs in Cursor’s read only Ask mode, so every command, delete and web request comes to you first. Picking a model for a task also becomes the CLI’s default while the task runs, and Deska puts the previous one back when it stops.

Good for

  • Using your Cursor plan and its models outside the editor
  • Approving each command before it runs
  • Watching your monthly allowance in the usage gauge

How to add it

Install the Cursor CLI and sign in once with cursor-agent login. If it is not on this computer, the card says Not installed and offers Install, which runs the installer in a terminal panel.
