- The development environment is a product for agents, and must be designed to match cloud and local development.
- To enable cloud agents, Cursor made the repo work on Ubuntu VMs, added dependencies to a Dockerfile, and implemented security features for secret management.
- A custom CLI called 'anydev' simplifies build and run commands, making it easier for agents to test code reliably.
- Cursor Cloud MCP was built to allow agents to inspect and heal their own environments, detecting setup failures and other issues.
