Local agent CLI

Cursor CLI

Cursor’s command-line coding agent, connected through its structured Agent Client Protocol interface. Install it on the computer where you want OpenMeld to run local work.

OpenMeld detects runnable local agent CLIs on this computer. Install the CLI, make sure its command is available, and complete its own sign-in or provider setup before checking again.

Install

  1. Install Cursor CLI with the official installer: curl https://cursor.com/install -fsS | bash
  2. Make sure ~/.local/bin is on your PATH, then run cursor-agent login.
  3. Complete Cursor CLI sign-in in your browser. Cursor IDE sign-in does not sign in Cursor CLI.

Verify

Run this command in Terminal:

cursor-agent status

Next step

Re-run the setup command from OpenMeld Web. If this computer is already set up, open Settings, go to Computers, and choose Check Local Agents.

OpenMeld verifies Cursor CLI by finding a launchable cursor-agent executable, checking cursor-agent --version, and reading cursor-agent status. OpenMeld runs Cursor through Agent Client Protocol (ACP).
