Cursor introduces Customize page for plugins, skills, and MCPs
TL;DR
Cursor launches a Customize page to manage plugins, skills, MCPs, subagents, rules, commands, and hooks, featuring a marketplace leaderboard and prebuilt canvases.
What changed
Cursor adds a Customize page for Developers to manage plugins, skills, MCPs, subagents, rules, commands, and hooks in one place. The update includes a marketplace leaderboard plus prebuilt plugin canvases for data visualization and issue tracking. Team Marketplace now supports imports from GitLab, BitBucket, and Azure DevOps that Vibe Builders and Basic Users can apply directly.
Why it matters
Developers gain faster workflow setup through the named imports from GitLab and similar platforms during team projects. Basic Users reach prebuilt canvases for issue tracking without extra setup steps. Vibe Builders discover options quicker via the leaderboard in routine customization tasks.
What to watch for
Compare the Customize page against manual setup flows in GitLab connected projects. Developers should open the new page in Cursor and test one Team Marketplace import from BitBucket to confirm the canvas loads as expected.
Who this matters for
- Vibe Builders: Use the marketplace leaderboard to find and install top-rated subagents for faster prototyping.
- Basic Users: Open the Customize page to activate prebuilt canvases for data visualization without manual setup.
Harsh’s take
Cursor is moving beyond a simple fork of VS Code to become a full-blown platform for development workflows. By centralizing MCPs, skills, and subagents into a single Customize page, they are reducing the friction of environment configuration. The addition of a marketplace leaderboard is a smart move to surface high-quality community tools, while the enterprise-grade imports from GitLab and BitBucket signal a serious push into professional team environments. This update makes it easier for non-technical users to access sophisticated data visualization and tracking tools that were previously hidden behind complex config files.
