Set Up Cursor Agent

The Cursor entry in TermSquad installs and connects Cursor’s terminal agent. This is the CLI running on your computer, separate from opening the Cursor desktop editor on your own device.

Connect Cursor Agent

1. Select a running computer.
2. Open Settings → AI tools → Cursor.
3. Choose Connect and wait for installation.
4. Complete the browser sign-in with your Cursor account.
5. Return to the login terminal and wait for completion.

TermSquad’s managed command is:

cursor-agent login

Cursor’s newer documentation may show the shorter agent command. Use the cursor-agent executable configured by TermSquad for this integration. Cursor documents browser and API-key methods in its authentication reference.

Start a project session

Enter your repository and choose Cursor from the terminal’s Agents menu, or run cursor-agent. Check cursor-agent --version when diagnosing compatibility.

Begin with a request to explain one file and keep normal approvals. The desktop editor’s existing login does not automatically authenticate this remote Linux account.

If access is denied

Confirm the selected Cursor account can use the CLI and the requested model. If you use an API key, follow Cursor’s current configuration instructions and keep it out of repository files and prompts.
