cursor-rpc/README.md

cursor-rpc

Protos and go library to communicate with Cursor's backend, without using Cursor. Useful if you're only allowed to run proprietary code through the Cursor servers/have a paid Cursor license, but want to use your own editor (Vim, Helix, etc) or build other features on top of Cursor.

Works by reverse-engineering the minified, obfuscated JS in Cursor's VSCode fork and acting like a bootleg module loader to stand up only the relevant modules needed to get the Protobuf typing info.

Usage

TODO

Updating the schema

To update the schema, run

make extract-schema

This command assumes you have a Cursor.app in your /Applications directory.

Then, run

make generate

To use buf to generate updated Go bindings for cursor-rpc.

Todos

• auto-generate the cursor_version.txt (currently manually set)
• auto-updating when Cursor has new releases
• more testing & examples
