How to Get Started
Download Cursor from cursor.com for Mac, Windows, or Linux. It is a standalone editor based on VS Code, so your existing VS Code extensions, themes, and keybindings carry over automatically.
The free plan includes 2,000 code completions per month and 50 slow premium model requests. Upgrade to Pro ($20/mo) for significantly more usage with credit-based billing.
