Cursor Adds New Customize Page for Managing Workflows Plugins and Rules
TL;DR
Cursor introduces a Customize page to manage plugins, skills, MCPs, and rules in one place. It includes a marketplace leaderboard, prebuilt plugin canvases, and repository import support.
What changed
Cursor added a new Customize page that brings plugin management, skills, MCPs, and rules into one location. The page includes a marketplace leaderboard and prebuilt plugin canvases. It also supports importing plugin repositories directly.
Why it matters
Vibe Builders gain a single spot to handle custom setups instead of switching between separate areas during workflow tweaks. Developers see faster organization when dealing with plugin repositories in projects that involve frequent rule updates. This approach differs from standard setups in tools like VS Code where configurations often stay scattered across multiple menus.
What to watch for
Basic Users should compare the new page against manual setup flows in VS Code to see time differences on simple tasks. Check the Cursor settings menu after an update to verify the Customize page appears with the leaderboard visible.
Who this matters for
- Vibe Builders: Use the new leaderboard to find and install prebuilt plugin canvases for faster workflow setup.
- Basic Users: Access the Customize page to manage all rules and MCPs in one view instead of hunting through menus.
Harsh’s take
Cursor is doubling down on the IDE as an extensible platform rather than just a code editor. By centralizing MCPs, rules, and plugins into a single marketplace and dashboard, they are creating a moat around the developer experience that VS Code currently lacks. This move shifts the focus from manual configuration to discovery and rapid deployment of custom AI behaviors.
The inclusion of a leaderboard suggests a push toward a social ecosystem for coding workflows. Operators should treat this as a signal to start modularizing their custom rules and MCP connections. If you can package your specific project context into these new canvases, you reduce the friction of onboarding new collaborators or switching between complex project environments.
