This Skill addresses the inability to directly leverage Cursor's powerful coding capabilities on the pi platform. In real-world development, developers often need to manage multiple AI coding agents simultaneously, but Cursor's local IDE constraints make it difficult to be invoked by other Agent platforms. pi-cursor uses the ACP protocol to enable pi to delegate complex coding tasks (such as refactoring, writing tests, debugging) to the Cursor Agent, achieving cross-platform AI collaboration.
Usage is straightforward: simply install this extension in your pi environment and ensure the Cursor CLI is installed and authenticated. Then, initiate a session with a natural language command like /cursor:connect, and use the @cursor_agent tool or /cursor:mode to switch modes (agent/plan/ask) to invoke Cursor for task execution. For example, tell pi "@cursor_agent fix the bug in src/auth/login.ts", and the Cursor Agent will automatically analyze the code and generate a fix.
It is ideal for full-stack developers, agent developers, and DevOps engineers who require deep coding support—especially teams or individuals already using pi as an AI Agent orchestration platform but seeking to enhance development efficiency with Cursor's professional code generation capabilities. For scenarios involving complex code analysis, multi-file refactoring, or integration testing, this Skill significantly reduces context-switching overhead.
It is recommended to verify the Cursor CLI connection is healthy via the cursor_status tool before starting a task. Note that it primarily relies on Cursor Cloud services, so an internet connection and valid Cursor account authentication are required. Additionally, due to communication over the ACP protocol, response latency may be slightly higher than operating directly in Cursor, making it suitable for non-real-time tasks.
Key Features
Unlike operating directly in the Cursor IDE, pi-cursor uses the ACP protocol to allow pi to remotely invoke Cursor as a scheduling hub, enabling multi-Agent orchestration. In contrast, other similar tools (e.g., Claude's MCP server) typically support only single-Agent invocation and cannot seamlessly switch between agent, plan, and ask modes within pi's conversational flow.
Limitations
Requires pre-installation of the Cursor IDE and login via the Cursor CLI. It depends on network connectivity and Cursor Cloud services, and cannot be used in offline or purely local environments.
FAQ
What should I do if I cannot connect to the Cursor Agent after installation?
Ensure you have installed the Cursor CLI by running `curl https://cursor.com/install -fsS | bash` and completed authentication with `agent login`. Then, verify the installation with `agent --version`. Finally, execute `/cursor:connect` in pi to establish the session.
Can this Skill invoke multiple Cursor instances simultaneously?
Currently, each session can connect to only one Cursor Agent instance. To switch tasks, you can use `/cursor:disconnect` and then reconnect. Support for multiple instances can be achieved by creating separate, independent sessions within pi.
