Cursor Joined the ACP Registry and Is Now Live in Your JetBrains IDE

Jan-Niklas Wortmann Ekaterina Ryabukha

Cursor is now available as an AI agent inside JetBrains IDEs through the Agent Client Protocol. Select it from the agent picker, and it has full access to your project.

If you’ve spent any time in the AI coding space, you already know Cursor. It has been one of the most requested additions to the ACP Registry.

What you get

Cursor is known for its AI-native, agentic workflows. JetBrains IDEs are valued for deep code intelligence – refactoring, debugging, code quality checks, and the tooling professionals rely on at scale. ACP brings the two together.

You can now use Cursor’s agentic capabilities directly inside your JetBrains IDE – within the workflows and features you already use. 

A growing open ecosystem

Cursor joins a growing list of agents available through ACP in JetBrains IDEs. Every new addition to the ACP Registry means you have more choice – while still working inside the IDE you already rely on. You get access to frontier models from major providers, including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and now also Cursor.

This is part of our open ecosystem strategy. Plug in the agents you want and work in the IDE you love – without getting locked into a single solution.

Cursor is focused on building the best way to build software with AI. By integrating Cursor with JetBrains IDEs, we’re excited to provide teams with powerful agentic capabilities in the environments where they’re already working.

– Jordan Topoleski, COO at Cursor

Get started

You need version 2025.3.2 or later of your JetBrains IDE with the AI Assistant plugin enabled. From there, open the agent selector, select Install from ACP Registry…, install Cursor, and start working. You don’t need a JetBrains AI subscription to use Cursor as an AI agent.

The ACP Registry keeps growing, and many agents have already joined it – with more on the way. Try it today with Cursor and experience agent-driven development inside your JetBrains IDE. For more information about the Agent Client Protocol, see our original announcement and the blog post on the ACP Agent Registry support.
