What Changed

Adds Cursor Cloud execution to the existing Cursor provider. Users can create cloud threads from web or desktop and follow up from mobile.

Cloud threads start from a pushed GitHub branch, stream progress into T3 Code, link provider-created pull requests, and reattach after server restarts. Recovery preserves the final reply after stream interruptions. Model selection remains fixed once the cloud conversation starts.

Why

Lets users manage work running on Cursor-hosted machines from T3 Code, including work that continues while their local machine is offline.

Cloud execution uses the existing provider configuration and thread lifecycle. Local checkpoints are skipped because the cloud workspace is separate from the local checkout.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Run threads as Cursor Cloud agents by configuring a Cursor API key and selecting Cloud in the thread’s execution options.
    • Cloud agents start from a pushed GitHub branch; unpushed local changes are not included. Agents work on a new branch, with pull-request creation enabled by default.
    • View pull requests reported by cloud agents directly in the app.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Cloud threads reconnect to active agent sessions after interruptions or server restarts, without creating local checkpoints for cloud work.
  • Documentation
    • Added setup guidance for Cursor Cloud agents, including supported workflows and limitations.

A Cursor thread can now run as a Cursor Cloud Agent instead of through the
local CLI. New threads pick Local or Cloud at the start of the composer's
context strip; the choice is stored on the thread as executionTarget and
fixed once it exists. The branch picker chooses the pushed branch the cloud
workspace starts from.

The Cursor driver routes cloud threads to an adapter over Cursor's v1 API:
the first turn creates an agent on the project's GitHub repository, later
turns are runs on it. Run output streams over SSE and resumes from
Last-Event-ID after a dropped connection, Stop cancels the run, and pull
requests Cursor opens are linked to the thread. The Cursor snapshot reports
whether the instance's CURSOR_API_KEY allows cloud threads, and their models.

Local checkpoints skip cloud threads, and startup reconciliation reattaches
to a cloud run that kept going while the server was down.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request adds Cursor Cloud agent execution for threads. It adds cloud API and provider support, carries execution targets through thread creation and persistence, and updates server orchestration and web and mobile controls to select and run cloud threads.

Changes

Cursor Cloud execution

Layer / File(s) Summary
Execution-target contracts and persistence
packages/contracts/src/*, apps/server/src/persistence/*, apps/server/src/orchestration/Layers/Projection*, packages/client-runtime/src/state/*
Contracts add local and cloud execution targets, cloud provider status, cloud settings, and provider pull-request metadata. Projection storage and client thread state carry the execution target.
Cloud API, provider status, and workspace resolution
apps/server/src/provider/cursorCloudApi.ts, apps/server/src/provider/Layers/CursorCloudProvider*, apps/server/src/provider/cursorCloudWorkspace*
The API client handles account, model, agent, run, and event-stream requests. Provider status resolves cloud availability and models. Workspace resolution identifies the GitHub repository and starting ref.
Cloud adapter and Cursor routing
apps/server/src/provider/Layers/CursorCloudAdapter*, apps/server/src/provider/Drivers/CursorDriver.ts, apps/server/src/provider/Layers/ProviderService.ts
The adapter creates and follows cloud runs, translates events, and restores sessions from resume cursors. Cursor routes sessions to the local or cloud adapter. ProviderService persists resume cursors at turn boundaries.
Orchestration and cloud-thread lifecycle
apps/server/src/orchestration/*, apps/server/src/ws.ts, apps/server/src/serverRuntimeStartup.ts, apps/server/src/provider/Layers/ProviderService*
Orchestration carries execution targets into provider sessions, enforces cloud model restrictions, skips local checkpoints, validates cloud-capable providers, reattaches sessions at startup, and links provider-reported pull requests.
Client selection, model handling, and guidance
apps/web/src/components/*, apps/web/src/composerDraftStore.ts, apps/mobile/src/features/threads/ThreadComposer.tsx, packages/client-runtime/src/providerExecution.ts, docs/*, README.md
Web and mobile clients add cloud target selection and cloud-specific provider snapshots. Draft state persists the target. Documentation covers Cursor Cloud setup and thread behavior.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to e9672

With automatic routing enabled, a cloud draft may be blocked or sent as a local thread. Use cloud availability when selecting its environment before merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟠 High · up to e9672

Cloud threads can run with full access even when a thread requests approvals, and a previously selected cloud draft can become a local thread if provider status changes. These differences affect where work runs and which safeguards apply.

Retained concerns

  • High · security · observed: A cloud thread retains its requested runtime mode, but the hosted agent does not enforce approval requests. The warning is emitted only after the first remote run has been created.
  • Medium · security · observed: A draft already marked for cloud execution resolves to local when its selected provider loses the cloud snapshot. Creation then omits the cloud target, so the thread can run in the local workspace instead of the selected hosted workspace.
  • Medium · reliability · inferred: A remote agent and run are created before the first-turn resume cursor is returned. If execution is interrupted in that interval, recovery of the already-running, full-access remote work is not established by the inspected path.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The new route exposes the configured Cursor Cloud account and a selected project's GitHub repository to hosted execution, with pull-request creation enabled by default. The evidence does not establish broader tenant or repository access.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • observed — A cloud-selected first prompt reaches createAgent with the project's repository and optional automatic pull-request creation even when the thread requests an approval-based runtime mode. The adapter reports the absence of approvals afterward.
  • observed — A changed provider snapshot can change an existing cloud draft's resolved target to local before submission, changing the execution environment without a new target-selection action.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The client-selected target is not the only routing control: server session startup checks the provider kind and enabled state, and the cloud adapter requires an API key and a checkout. These checks counter an unrestricted client-field bypass, but do not make hosted approval behavior equivalent to local execution.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — Cursor-based reattachment and stream-result recovery address recorded runs, but the inspected ordering does not establish at-most-once remote creation or recovery after interruption before the first cursor is recorded.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Before creating a hosted run, make the approval-mode difference an explicit precondition or require confirmation; fail closed rather than silently changing an already selected cloud draft to local execution.

Approvability

Verdict: Not approved

Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This PR introduces a substantial Cursor Cloud execution capability spanning UI, orchestration, persistence, external API/SSE handling, GitHub workspace resolution, and restart recovery. It also defaults cloud runs to pull-request creation, suppresses a static-analysis diagnostic in new tests, and retains unresolved medium/high recovery and execution-target findings.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Use cloud readiness for automatic routing.

When executionTarget === "cloud", require provider.cloud?.available === true and evaluate the cloud-projected provider state. The current filter evaluates raw local readiness. It can reject a cloud-ready Cursor provider with no local CLI and select a locally healthy provider with no cloud support.

The later target check does not prevent this selection. It can instead resolve the selected no-cloud provider back to local execution.
