New CLI Features and
Improved CLI Performance
This release introduces new CLI controls for models, MCP management, rules and commands, alongside major hooks performance improvements and bug fixes.
Model list and selection
Use the new agent models command,--list-models flag,or /models slash command to list all available models and quickly switch between them.
Rules generation and management
Create new rules and edit existing ones directly from the CLI with the /rules command.
Enabling MCP servers
Enable and disable MCP servers on the fly with /mcp enable and /mcp disable commands.
- Tabs are now automatically named based on chats.

Layout Customization and
Stability Improvements
For this holiday release,we've focused entirely on fixings bugs and improving stability.
This includes the core agent,layout controls,viewing code diffs,and more.We will be slowly rolling these updates out over the week,ensuring there are no regressions during our holiday coding.
Stability Improvements
- Cursor now separates processes running for user-installed extensions and built-inCursor extensions,such as codebase indexing.
- Improved stability around how the agent respects auto-run preferences to prevent asking for approval on all changes if the user has selected run all or sandbox.
- Improved integrated browser to support opening multiple taba.
- Fixed chat loading,where sometimes restarts or updates could cause past chats tobe inaccessible.
- Update button will show less frequently,and cool down for significantly longerwhen dismissed.
- Fixed issue where generating plans in Plan Mode would steal focus from otheractive panes
- Fixed integrated browser menubar issue on Windows.
- Improved parallel agent stability and quality when using worktrees.
- Improved stability for rolling back to previous checkpoints in agent conversations.
- Improved ability to edit and drag queued message to agent.
- Fixed an edit bug caused old_str replace failed error messsage.
- Fixed rare prompt input and @-menu delay when opening.
- Fixed a bug where voice message start icon would not display.
- Fixed filesdeleted in a worktree not being removed when applying changes.
- Fixed accept/reject controls not appearing for files edits in parallel agents.
- Fixed incorrect model names displaying in parallel agents after applying.
- Fixed resubmitting the first model in a parallel agent run after applying.
- Fixed multiple models toggle bug with non-git-root directories.
- Fixed model mismatch in Plan Mode when using worktrees.
-
Fixed worktrees requiring edit approval outside of otherwise defined auto-
run settings. - Fixed a rare bug where a user could be logged out on submission from abuse checks.
- Fixed unread states persisting in the agent sidebar after Plan Mode Q&A.
- Fixed issue where selected panes were being reset on version upgrades.
- Fixed ⌘+N to only create new agent conversations when focused in chat view.
- Fixed issue with native tabs not displaying correct with agent layout.
- Fixed issue with displaying terminals on the right side layout.
- Fixed issue where the bottom of the screen content could be cut off insome scenarios.
- Added new keybindings (⌘+⌥+⇥) for switching between user-defined layouts.
- View a file explorer when clicking on the repo name in the top navigation bar.
- File explorer now defaults open during onboarding.
- Moved the new agent icon from the main title bar into the panel itself basedon feedback.
- Added a "More Actions" ellipsis to hide the chat and configuring positioning directly.
- Added keyboard shortcuts into display for the "More Actions" menu.
- Selecting filenames directly from change summary focuses that file in thereview pane.
- Fixed bug where keep/undo all buttons would not show up in the UI.
- Fixed bug where keep/undo all would flip sides when scrolling from files list tocomposer toolbar.
- Improved visibility of changing between split/unified diffs for reviewing changes.o
- Added support for Static Client headers in MCP OAuth w/ scopes and state.
- MCP OAuth servers now open new auth tabs for previously authenticated serverson startup.
Layout customization
It's now easier to customize your default layout across workspaces.
We've included four default layouts: agent, editor, zen, and browser. You can use Command (⌘) + Option (⌥) + Tab (⇥) to switch between layouts, or easily jump between different workspaces. Additionally, you can move backwards in this list by including Shift (⇧), similar to macOS.
Enterprise Insights , Billing
Groups,Services Accounts,and
Improved Security controls
Many of the largest software companies in the world have adopted Cursor for Enterprise. Here are some of the new fetures we're releasing today:
conversation Insights
Cursor can now analyze the code and context in each agent session to understand the type of work that is being done, including:
- Category: Budg fixes,refactoring,explanation
- Work Type: Maintenance,bug fixing,new features
- Complexity: Difficulty and specificity of prompts
Enterprise customers can also extend these categories across their organization and teams. We protect your privacy by ensuring no PII or sensitive data is collected as part of these insights.
Shared agent transcripts
You can now share agent conversations with your team.
Generate a read-only transcript of any agent conversation to include in your PRs or internal documentation. Transcripts can be forked so others can start new agent conversations from the same context.
Billing Groups
Cursor now supports billing groups for fine-grained visibility into where usage occurs.
Map usage and spend to the structure of your organization. Track spend by group, set budget alerts, and keep an eye on outliers. Understand which teams have the highest adoption of Cursor.
Linux sandboxing for agents
Sandboxing for agents supports Linux in addition to macOS
This allows agents to work effectively within appropriate boundaries. Access is scoped to your workspace and can be configured to block unauthorized network and file system access.
Learn more about LLM safety and controls.
Services accounts
Service accounts are non-human accounts (and their API keys) that can configure Cursor, call APIs, and invoke cloud agents.
With service accounts, teams can securely automate Cursor-powered workflows without tying integrations to individual developers' accounts. This makes it easier to manage access, rotate credentials, and keep automations running even as people and roles change.
Service accounts will roll out to Enterprise accounts starting the week of 12/22.
