Cursor joins JetBrains IDEs via Agent Client Protocol

Cursor's agentic workflows now run natively inside JetBrains IDEs through ACP, eliminating the context-switch between IDE and standalone AI editor.

Summary

Developers using JetBrains get agentic code generation without leaving their IDE or IDE-specific tooling (refactoring, debugging, code quality). Reduces friction for teams already invested in JetBrains ecosystem.

Why it matters

Implementation verdict

Replaces: context-switching to Cursor standalone. Requires: JetBrains IDE 2025.3.2+, AI Assistant plugin enabled, Cursor ACP install. No JetBrains AI subscription needed. Ready to try now if you're on current version.
