Cursor Introduces Self-hosted Cloud Agents for Enterprise Security

Anysphere announced on March 25, 2026, the release of self-hosted cloud agents for Cursor, allowing developers to execute code entirely within their own infrastructure.

What are Self-hosted Cloud Agents?

Self-hosted cloud agents enable code execution and tool calls to run entirely within the user’s own network. Code, build outputs, and secrets remain on internal machines while the agent handles tool calls locally.

Key Features

• Full Network Execution: Code and tool execution completed within corporate infrastructure
• Isolated VMs: Isolated virtual machine environments
• Full Development Environments: Complete development environment support
• Automation and Plugin Support: Available automation and extension features
• Multi-platform Launch: Can be initiated from Cursor Editor, Web App, Slack, GitHub, Linear, or API

Security and Privacy

The self-hosted option provides an important choice for enterprise users handling sensitive code. Since code is not sent to external cloud environments, it can meet security compliance requirements.

Getting Started

Self-hosted cloud agents can be enabled from the Cursor Dashboard. For more details, refer to the Cursor documentation.

Outlook

The introduction of self-hosted cloud agents is expected to enhance Cursor’s competitiveness in the enterprise market. For companies prioritizing confidentiality, the barriers to adopting cloud-based AI coding assistance are significantly reduced.
