Cursor Adds Cloud Subagents

2026-06-19 · cursor

Cursor's June 17 changelog introduces cloud environment setup and cloud subagents inside the desktop Agents Window. The release lets Cursor help configure cloud dev environments, snapshot them, and reuse them for future agent runs. The most important workflow change is the new /in-cloud command, which sends a subagent to its own VM and branch while the local workspace stays responsive.

Key Features or Updates

Cursor can now help set up a cloud dev environment in under 10 minutes and preserve it as a reusable snapshot. Cloud subagents can be launched with /in-cloud, while /babysit lets a remote agent keep iterating on a pull request.

Impact on Developers

This makes long-running tasks like CI fixes, codebase exploration, and PR cleanup easier to run in parallel. Developers can keep working locally while cloud agents operate in isolated branches and machines.

How to use it

Upgrade to Cursor 3.7 and open the Agents Window. Use /in-cloud for the next task you want handled remotely, or commit a .cursor/environment.json file so your team can reuse the same cloud setup.
