Cursor SDK Quickstart

A minimal local Cursor SDK example. It creates one agent, sends a hard-coded prompt, streams assistant text to stdout, and waits for the run to finish.

Getting Started

Use Node.js 22 or newer.

Install dependencies:

pnpm install

Set a Cursor API key:

export CURSOR_API_KEY="crsr_..."

Run the quickstart:

pnpm dev

Build and run the compiled example:

pnpm build
pnpm start

Notes

For a more complete terminal app with arguments, cloud mode, model selection, and an interactive TUI, see Coding Agent CLI.
