What Cursor is
- VS Code fork treating agentic editing as the primary interaction, not a bolted-on extension.
- Maintains a genuine embeddings index that shows on large repos where grep-based harnesses flounder.
- Background agents run on Cursor's infrastructure and open pull requests; a CLI covers headless use.
- An in-house model handles the fast path; pricing is a subscription with usage-based spend above the included amount.
