## Description
Bridge AI coding hosts to cursor-agent over the Agent Client Protocol.
## Claude Desktop Quick Installation
Heuristic fallback โ verify the package name and runner against the repository README before running it. Uses `npx` (confidence: low):
```json
"mcpServers": {
"cursor-delegate": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y","cursor-delegate"]
}
}
```

# Cursor Delegate
**Stop burning your frontier agent's limits on boilerplate.**
Delegate edits to Cursor's CLI agent โ your agent writes the brief and reviews the diff.

Use your best coding agent where its judgment matters most: understanding the task, shaping the plan, and reviewing the result.
Cursor Delegate is the MCP bridge that lets Claude Code, ChatGPT/Codex, Copilot โ or any MCP client โ hand implementation to **Cursor's CLI agent**, then get a clean, structured result back for review.
## ๐ง Frontier quality, kept
Your assistant does what frontier models are actually for: understands the task, writes a precise brief, reviews the finished diff. **Composer 2.5** runs the implementation loop under that brief. Nothing lands unreviewed โ the agent that scoped the work reads the changed files back before you see them.
## โก Done faster
Composer 2.5 is built for throughput on multi-file edits. The whole delegation is one call โ brief in, result out โ so you review a finished diff instead of babysitting edits landing file by file.
## ๐ Your limits stop being the bottleneck
Composer and Grok run on their **own usage allowance** on every Cursor plan โ separate from the API-priced main quota, and generous enough that most people never reach the ceiling. Your Claude or Codex subscription spends tokens only on the brief and the review, so the 5-hour window and weekly limits go a lot further. Paying per token on API? That grind moves onto Cursor capacity you already have.
## Features
- ๐ค **Native plugins** โ install into Claude Code, ChatGPT/Codex, or GitHub Copilot CLI and just say *"delegate this to Cursor"*. The shared skill teaches your agent how to delegate well.
- ๐ฌ **No stalled runs** โ if Cursor needs to clarify, it ends the turn and returns the question as a normal result. Your agent reads it and answers by resuming the same session โ nothing blocks on a modal waiting for input.
- ๐ฆ **Clean, named results** โ final answer, changed files, session id, and the plan, returned as one compact JSON payload. Nothing to scrape, nothing to guess.
- ๐ **Plan first** โ `plan` mode: Cursor drafts a plan, you review it, then the same session implements it.
- ๐ **Ask anything** โ `ask` mode: read-only Q&A over your codebase.
- ๐ฉบ **Self-diagnosing** โ a `doctor` tool that tells you exactly what's missing if setup isn't right.
- ๐ **Portable** โ plain stdio MCP, so it runs anywhere: VS Code, JetBrains, Windsurf, Visual Studio, and more.
## Install
You need [Node.js 20+](https://nodejs.org/) and the [Cursor CLI](https://cursor.com/docs/cli/overview), logged in (`cursor-agent login`).
### Claude Code
```shell
/plugin marketplace add andreilungeanu/cursor-delegate-mcp
/plugin install cursor-delegate@cursor-delegate-mcp
```
Then just ask:
> Delegate to Cursor: migrate src/api from callbacks to async/await and update the tests, then walk me through what changed.
That's the whole loop โ Claude writes the brief, Cursor grinds through the files, Claude walks you through the diff.
### ChatGPT desktop / Codex
```shell
codex plugin marketplace add andreilungeanu/cursor-delegate-mcp
codex plugin add cursor-delegate@cursor-delegate-mcp
```
### GitHub Copilot CLI
```shell
copilot plugin install andreilungeanu/cursor-delegate-mcp
```
### Any other MCP client
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"cursor-delegate": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "cursor-delegate-mcp"]
}
}
}
```
### Client-specific config locations
VS Code โ one-click install, or .vscode/mcp.json
[](https://vscode.dev/redirect/mcp/install?name=cursor-delegate&config=%7B%22type%22%3A%22stdio%22%2C%22command%22%3A%22npx%22%2C%22args%22%3A%5B%22-y%22%2C%22cursor-delegate-mcp%22%5D%7D)
[](https://insiders.vscode.dev/redirect/mcp/install?name=cursor-delegate&config=%7B%22type%22%3A%22stdio%22%2C%22command%22%3A%22npx%22%2C%22args%22%3A%5B%22-y%22%2C%22cursor-delegate-mcp%22%5D%7D&quality=insiders)
Or add it manually:
```json
{
"servers": {
"cursor-delegate": {
"type": "stdio",
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "cursor-delegate-mcp"]
}
}
}
```
Or run **Chat: Install Plugin From Source** with this repository's URL.
JetBrains AI Assistant โ Settings โ Tools โ AI Assistant โ MCP
Under **Settings โ Tools โ AI Assistant โ Model Context Protocol (MCP)**, add a server with command `npx` and arguments `-y cursor-delegate-mcp`.
Windsurf โ ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"cursor-delegate": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "cursor-delegate-mcp"]
}
}
}
```
Heads-up: Cascade caps you at 100 tools across all servers.
Visual Studio 2022 โ %USERPROFILE%\.mcp.json
```json
{
"servers": {
"cursor-delegate": {
"type": "stdio",
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "cursor-delegate-mcp"]
}
}
}
```
Requires 17.14+. Note the top-level key is `servers`, not `mcpServers`.
Kiro, Kilo Code, Zed โ and any other stdio MCP client
Use the portable definition above in the client's own MCP config file.
