cursor-agent-sdk 0.1.2

Python client wrapper for the Cursor Agent API

cursor-agent-sdk

Thin, typed Python bindings for the Cursor Cloud Agents API—drive cloud coding agents from CI, bots, or scripts instead of clicking through the dashboard. Built on httpx; sync by default, async when you already use asyncio.

Python 3.10+.

---

Install

Install from PyPI (recommended):

pip install cursor-agent-sdk

From source (contributors or a git checkout):

git clone <repository-url> && cd cursor-agent-api && pip install -e .

---

Auth

Keys live in the Cursor Dashboard → Cloud Agents. The API uses Basic auth: username = API key, password empty (curl -u 'KEY': …). Overview.

---

30-second run

import os
from cursor_agent import SyncClient

with SyncClient(os.environ["CURSOR_API_KEY"]) as client:
    agent = client.new_agent(repo="https://github.com/octocat/Hello-World", ref="main")
    print(agent.create("Add a one-line note to README.md."))

create starts the remote agent; follow_up("…") sends more prompts on the same run.

---

Model: client → agent → API

One client (connection + credentials). One agent handle per repo/PR you care about. Methods map 1:1 to https://api.cursor.com/v0.

flowchart TB
    subgraph sdk ["cursor-agent-sdk"]
        C["SyncClient / AsyncClient"]
        A["Agent / AsyncAgent"]
    end
    API[("Cursor Cloud Agents API\napi.cursor.com/v0")]
    C -->|new_agent| A
    A -->|create, follow_up, refresh| API
    C -->|me, list_agents, …| API

Opinions: Prefer Agent.create / follow_up over raw launch_agent / followup—they keep ids and sources straight. Use SyncClient unless your app is already async; then AsyncClient. This repo is not official Cursor software.

Example (sync)

import os
from cursor_agent import SyncClient

with SyncClient(os.environ["CURSOR_API_KEY"]) as client:
    agent = client.new_agent(repo="https://github.com/octocat/Hello-World", ref="main")
    out = agent.create(
        "Add CONTRIBUTING.md with PR guidelines.",
        target={"autoCreatePr": True},
    )
    print(out.get("id"), out.get("status"))
    agent.follow_up("Ask for a minimal repro in issues.")
    print(agent.refresh().get("status"))

Resume later: agent.attach("bc_…") then follow_up / refresh only.

---

Async

Same API; await client and AsyncAgent methods.

async def run():
    async with AsyncClient(os.environ["CURSOR_API_KEY"]) as client:
        a = client.new_agent(repo="https://github.com/octocat/Hello-World", ref="main")
        await a.create("Update README.")
        await a.follow_up("Keep it short.")

---

Lifecycle

Call	Role
new_agent(repo=…, ref=…) or new_agent(pr_url=…)	Bind GitHub source.
create(prompt, …)	Once per handle — POST /v0/agents, stores id.
follow_up(prompt, …)	Same cloud agent — POST /v0/agents/{id}/followup.

First create only: model, target, webhook, images. Follow-ups: prompt and images only.

PR instead of branch:

agent = client.new_agent(pr_url="https://github.com/octocat/Hello-World/pull/42")
agent.create("Small doc fixes only.")

---

HTTP surface

Client method	Route
me	GET /v0/me
list_models	GET /v0/models
list_repositories	GET /v0/repositories
list_agents	GET /v0/agents
get_agent / get_conversation	GET /v0/agents/{id}…
launch_agent	POST /v0/agents
followup	POST /v0/agents/{id}/followup
stop_agent / delete_agent	POST / DELETE …

---

Advanced

Custom httpx — SyncClient.from_httpx_client(httpx.Client) / AsyncClient.from_httpx_client(httpx.AsyncClient) for proxies, retries, tracing, etc.

Errors — failed requests raise CursorAPIError with status_code and response.
