Cursor cloud agents and harness update

Anysphere (Cursor) · 19 August 2026

Cursor adds subagents on isolated VMs, custom modes, a /goal command for long-lived objectives and PR/Slack subscriptions, five days after the SpaceX close.

Cloud agents gain delegation to subagents with their own machines and persistent goals. Follow-ups removed the need for an external Git provider for cloud agents (2026-08-27) and added self-hosted machines with team pools plus Linux/Mac computer use (2026-09-02).
