Cursor v1.0 Is Here

Cursor 1.0 introduces some major features including Memory support, Background Agents, and automated Code Reviewer + Bug Fixer.

Cursor has officially released the first major version bump since its initial launch in 2023. Cursor 1.0 is here!

This is very exciting because Cursor has been my go-to AI coding tool for more than a year now. OpenAI made multiple attempts to acquire the app, but the deal never went through. Honestly, I’m glad it didn’t. Its parent company, Anysphere, is now valued at $10 billion.

Here’s a quick overview of what’s new in Cursor 1.0:

1. Automatic code review with BugBot

2. Background agent for everyone

3. Agent in Jupyter notebooks

4. Memories

5. MCP one-click install and OAuth support

6. Richer chat responses

7. New settings and dashboard

Let’s get into the details of each feature.

1. Automatic code review with BugBot

Under the hood, BugBot looks at the diffs in your commits and analyzes the code using the most powerful models in Cursor. When a potential issue is found, it leaves a comment with a detailed explanation and a suggestion for a fix.

• Automatic Comments: Every time a PR is updated, BugBot re-runs and leaves comments with potential issues.

• Manual Trigger: You can also run BugBot manually with bugbot run in a comment on the PR

• Fix in Cursor: Use the “Fix in Cursor” links in comments to jump straight into Cursor with full context preloaded.
