Cursor Background Agent

Autonomous coding agent in Cursor that works in remote cloud environments

Code & DevelopmentPaid

Cursor Background Agent runs AI coding tasks in remote cloud sandboxes while the developer continues working locally. Users hand off long-running tasks—test suite creation, refactoring, bug investigation—to the Background Agent, which executes independently in a cloned environment, commits results, and notifies the developer when done. Multiple background tasks can run concurrently, parallelizing developer workflow.
