Cursor adds plugins and MCPs page for managing customizations

Cursor is doubling down on the ecosystem play by centralizing Model Context Protocol (MCP) management. While GitHub Copilot remains tethered to a more rigid, corporate structure, Cursor is moving toward a modular OS for development. The addition of a marketplace leaderboard is a clever nudge to standardize how teams share custom rules and skills.

For operators, the real value is the workspace level propagation. Being able to enforce specific coding rules across a whole team via a single import prevents the configuration drift that usually kills productivity in larger projects. This update proves that the IDE war is no longer about the model alone, it is about how effectively you can pipe external data and custom logic into the composer.
