The August 27 changelog removes the connected SCM provider requirement for starting a Cloud Agent: you prompt from nothing and save the result to a Cursor Origin repo afterward (Cursor).

It's also the first Cursor changelog entry since August 19.

runetes/maiao hit 95 points on August 25, an MIT-licensed tool turning each commit into its own independently reviewed pull request. It auto-detects the provider from the remote URL: GitHub with native stack support, GitLab with auto-detected stacks, Gitea, Forgejo/Codeberg, B...

Cursor's Plugin Marketplace (Feb 17-18) packages skills, subagents, MCP servers, hooks, and rules into single-install plugins with fine-grained network controls. Cursor Cloud Agents (Feb 24) run on isolated VMs that build, test, record video demos, and produce merge-ready PRs....
Origin rolled out Aug 17 in early beta on all paid plans: repo hosting with bidirectional real-time PR comment sync against GitHub (which stays source of truth for synced repos), plus native Vercel, Depot, and Buildkite integrations. Cursor says deeper agent-native features ar...
