Tools

cursor_usage

Operation

Purpose

alert_check

Main guardrail — hourly spend, on-demand, running cloud agents, cache delta

summary

One-shot dashboard replacement

spend

Admin API /teams/spend row

events

Last N hours usage events (sum chargedCents)

limits

Show configured thresholds

me

API key identity

cursor_cloud

Operation

Purpose

list

All cloud agents — spot runaway parallelism

status

Single agent

runs

Runs for agent

cancel

Cancel a run (use sparingly)

cursor_inbox

Structured message drop for Cursor agents. Any process posts; agent polls at task start.

Operation

Purpose

post

Drop a message (subject, body, priority, tags, optional payload dict)

list

Poll unread — call at agent task start

read

Full message by id

ack

Acknowledge (moves to inbox/acked/)

ack_all

Acknowledge all unread

purge

Delete acked messages older than N days

Drop dir: CURSOR_INBOX_DIR env (default ~/.cursor-mcp/inbox/). No daemon, no network — pure JSON files.

Who can write:

  • Claude Desktop: cursor_inbox post (add cursor-mcp to Claude Desktop MCP config)

  • meta_mcp / any fleet server: direct JSON file drop to CURSOR_INBOX_DIR

  • PowerShell / Python scripts: same

  • Sandra: cursor_inbox post from any MCP client

Cursor agent convention: add cursor_inbox list to AGENTS.md or Cursor rules so agents check for messages at the start of every session.

cursor_docs

Fleet snippets. Topics: cloud-agents, profiles, mcp-config, spend-guardrails, cursor-mcp, cursor-inbox, sdk-jun-2026, design-mode, auto-review, context-canvas, changelog-jun-2026.

cursor_sdk

Read-only SDK guidance (no agent spawn): capabilities, upgrade_notes, autoreview_template, custom_tools_guide, store_options.

Starter permissions: docs/permissions.fleet.example.json

cursor_help

Tool index and setup. Always current.


Auth notes

Key

Endpoints

CURSOR_API_KEY

/v1/me, /v1/agents/*

CURSOR_ADMIN_API_KEY

/teams/spend, /teams/filtered-usage-events

Individual Pro without Admin API: alert_check still works via cloud agent count + cache; spend/events show partial_errors until you add a team admin key.

Poll at most every 1–2 hours — Admin API aggregates hourly.


Env

Variable

Default

Purpose

CURSOR_API_KEY

CURSOR_MCP_HOST
