# Cursor

Tool · [Standard tools and platforms](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/tools)

Also called: Cursor AI, Cursor editor, Cursor IDE, Anysphere, Curser

An [AI code editor](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/code-editor) and [coding agent](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/coding-agent) made by the company Anysphere. A [developer](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/software-engineer) hands [coding](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/code) tasks to its [agents](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/ai-agent) and reviews the results. It is the same kind of tool as [GitHub Copilot](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/github-copilot), [Claude Code](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/claude-code) and [Codex](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/codex). Its [shadcn/ui](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/shadcn-ui) plugin helps agents find, add, style and combine those interface components.

**For example:** A [developer](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/software-engineer) opens a project in Cursor, asks it to rename a field everywhere it appears, and [checks](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/automated-check) each change before saving.
