Cursor CLI 2026.07.20-8cc9c0b

2026.07.17-3e2a980→2026.07.20-8cc9c0b·July 22, 2026 at 1:03 AM UTC

Patch release: adds a /checkpoint slash command and a --endpoint flag, plus desktop-bridge and provider-integration groundwork.

Changelog

  • [new] Added the /checkpoint slash command for checkpointing agent work from the CLI.
  • [new] Added a --endpoint CLI flag so you can point the agent at a custom endpoint.
  • [new] Support for Azure DevOps and Google APIs hosts for repository and provider workflows.
  • [new] Desktop bridge support via CURSOR_DESKTOP_BRIDGE_DIR for tighter Cursor desktop ↔ CLI integration.
  • [new] CURSOR_DISABLE_SPARSE_PLUGIN_CLONES to turn off sparse plugin clones when you need a full checkout.
  • [changed] Native helpers updated (sandbox, crepectl, file service, better-sqlite3) for stability and compatibility.
  • [fixed] Clearer handling when the agent store hits conflicts or inactive state, including retry behaviour for agent KV operations.

Models & prompts

No model ID or default model changes in this release.

Under the hood

  • Additional context can be delivered through agent exec hooks.
  • Telemetry for PR-open flows, zen-mode availability, and agent host/store paths to improve reliability diagnostics.
  • Removed an older stream start timeout recovery path in favour of the current exec flow.
  • Minor license/attribution cleanup in bundled service code.

Upgrade notes

  • If you use custom networking or self-hosted setups, try --endpoint where you previously relied on defaults alone.
  • Desktop users integrating the CLI may set CURSOR_DESKTOP_BRIDGE_DIR as needed; most installs can ignore it.
  • Set CURSOR_DISABLE_SPARSE_PLUGIN_CLONES=1 only if sparse plugin clones are causing issues in your environment.
