Details

Cursor has launched a beta version of Origin, a new code hosting service designed for agent scale, for users on paid plans.

Origin provides core features such as code repositories (repos), pull requests (PRs), code browsing, and GitHub synchronization. Users can create new repositories directly or connect existing GitHub repositories for real-time synchronization. While maintaining GitHub as the 'Source of Truth', users can browse and search code within Origin.

The Pull Request feature supports bidirectional synchronization. Comments left in Cursor are reflected in GitHub, and reviews or reactions from GitHub appear immediately in Cursor. This allows users to perform and merge reviews assigned in GitHub directly within Cursor.

Every repository has an AI agent integrated. Users can ask questions about the code they are browsing, and the agent can perform tasks such as directly modifying code, updating PRs, and pushing branches.

Additionally, it is building an app ecosystem that supports integrations with external services such as Vercel, Depot, and Buildkite. When integrated with Vercel, preview deployments are generated for all PRs, and existing CI workflows can be run via Depot or Buildkite.
