cursor/plugins — Cursor plugin specification and official plugins

What happened

The cursor/plugins repository now lists official Cursor plugins. Each plugin lives in its own folder and has a manifest file, which is a settings file that describes the plugin. The list covers developer tools, productivity apps, and team workflows. Some plugins are made by Cursor and others are made by outside developers.

Key facts

• The list includes developer tools such as Thermos, Ralph Loop, Advisor, and Cursor SDK.
• Productivity plugins include Gmail, Google Drive, and Google Calendar.
• Most plugins are in the Developer Tools category.
• Several plugins are written by outside authors, such as Eric Zakariasson, Lauren Tan, and Dylan Gattey.

Background

A plugin adds extra abilities to an AI coding agent. An agent is an AI helper that can read code, run commands, and make changes. Plugins are like apps on a phone: you add them to get new features. Each plugin has a name, an author, a category, and a short description so people can pick the ones they need.

Why it matters

Plugins let developers teach their AI helpers new tricks without building everything from scratch. A shared, official list makes it easier to find safe and tested tools. It also shows how AI coding tools are starting to connect with everyday apps like email and calendars.

What to watch

• Whether more plugins are added to the list over time.
• How outside authors use the plugin format to share their own tools.
• How companies handle privacy when plugins connect to email and files.
