Cursor has made its Environments API available in beta, allowing developers to create and manage the cloud environments where their agents run programmatically. The company also says those environments now support up to 300 repositories and that large environments load 5x faster.

Cloud agents can now build interactive canvases as part of their work. Users can share a finished canvas with teammates through a link.
